Title: Unfit
Description: "Chrissy Rollings has a mountain of troubles to overcome, one that would crush most other girls her age. She was born in a small North Carolina town in 1952, into a poor but happy and loving family that always managed to scrape by each month-- until the night her father died in a car crash, plunging the family into poverty. Because North Carolina was among the states to practice eugenics ... Chrissy's mother is eventually forced to choose between having 14-year-old Chrissy sterlized or losing her welfare check."--Page 4 of cover.
