Throughout most of this, a poodle acted as her only friend... until she discovered God! Carmen Valarie Debbie Jackie

3. Her kind-yet-alcoholic father spent all the food money on drinks, so she robbed a pizza place to keep her family from starving.

Carmen Crazy Mary Terri Suzie

4. She witnessed her friend's suicide in prison, and was in turn released from prison so that she would keep quiet.

9. Not a bad girl either, he was a BOY. Connie Johnny Nicky Lefty

10. Her military father forbade her to see her boyfriend, so she ran away to live with him instead. Her partners-in-crime included Brad, Ray, and Max.
