A broken life made whole: this phrase describes the life story of author Carol "Chicken" Bush, as she went from a newborn sold by her mother to a hill mountain couple and weathering an abusive childhood from her adoptive mother to living a peaceful life with her adoptive father, and then getting married young to her late husband Bubba. As shared in her new autobiography, Child of Scorn Reborn, the author didn't know about a loving Savior, learning briefly about God as a child when her beloved adoptive father died and she moved among several adoptive homes. Her early marriage to husband Bubba allowed her to begin a new life as a military wife, mother, and educated career woman, while witnessing God emerge in the fabric of her life. Carol believes she has been blessed by God throughout her life, helping her forgive her past and hold onto hope again.
