Necessity — A Memoir

Necessity — a memoir by Abby Davis.

Born Frankie Lee Riley in Springfield, Missouri, removed to foster care before her second birthday, adopted and renamed, Abby Davis tells the truth of a life the systems kept trying to close: abusive marriages, a career in human resources and at the VA ended by medullary sponge kidney disease, losing daily custody of her children — and the late-blooming second act nobody predicted: independent researcher with more than one hundred open-access papers, app builder, and author. The same pattern kept recurring until she named it. This is the naming.

Raw, unsparing, and ultimately about what a person can build from the wreckage — necessity, made visible.
