Publisher's Synopsis

A Painful Journey of Healing and Redemption

"She chose me because she immediately knew I was contagious to her lethal sickness. It was the aching and frayed tender strings inside me that revealed this to her the most. The bleeding compassion and boundless generosity I bestowed on her had turned out to be my biggest mistake. She knew right from the start that it was from exactly these places inside me she could eventually take ownership. And once she had me believing she was the greatest love of my life, she knew she had created the jugular in me. But she patiently waited until she had sucked my blood completely dry, like a vulture circling its dying prey from above. When I was finally stricken, I knew I would never be the same. For she had inflicted her death so deep into me it had sunken to the core of my world."

Crossroads

Destructive moments in an abusive relationship come full circle as they ultimately reverse themselves, becoming the foundational pieces in a healing process. Scattered pictures, some remembered, others forgotten, reappear as one man documents his desperate journey from the darkest cataclysms of his soul into a resurrection of daylight where miracles can somehow become real and life can go on.
