Description: SETH ETHERS was inspired at an early age by a young abandoned mother to begin saving money. Beginning when he was a child, Seth picked up cans and other junk to sell, even earning the name Scavenger, so he could save money to fill up his piggy bank. Every time he and his sister Eva filled up their piggy banks, their father would take them into town and put their money into their savings accounts. It wasn't until after Seth graduated from college and bought the store and house down the road from where he lived that his parents and sister learned his reason for working and saving money while he was growing up. 

During his childhood Seth often heard his father talk about how important it was for a man to take responsibility for his family, and he vowed to himself even though he was a child at the time that he would be a responsible man when he grew up. 

Readers of this book will be reminded that while a remarkable number of women are abused and/or abandoned daily that there are also men who suffer the same injustices that women suffer; however, because of fear of humiliation, they choose to suffer in silence. While the adult victims of domestic violence are suffering, so are the helpless little children of the victims.
