About this Quote

Taylor Caldwell's quote about her youth being "terrible" implies that her youth was filled with hard and undesirable experiences. It might imply that she dealt with physical, emotional, or psychological abuse, or that she was neglected or maltreated in some method. It could also mean that she needed to sustain poverty or other difficult scenarios. Whatever the case, it is clear that her youth was far from ideal. It is most likely that the experiences she sustained throughout her childhood had a long lasting impact on her life, and might have even formed her into the individual she is today. It is a powerful reminder of the value of offering kids with a safe and nurturing environment in which to grow and develop.
