Publisher's Synopsis
The shocking, true-life story of one child's life growing up in the 1950's when certain subjects were strictly taboo and self-emotional pain was buried deep within the soul.
In what were supposed to be the wonder years, one lone adolescent's greatest horrors and fears are brought to life by routine abuse, a domineering parent and a society not yet ready to tolerate diversity and change.
This is the story of one person's journey, struggle, triumph's and ultimate destiny.
A meager child grows into maturity sooner than most people and is left to deal with the consequences of the body the adult is now trapped in. Society groomed the child to think, believe and feel the "right and accepted" way.
But what is anyone to do when that path leads to ultimate demise and doom?

In the years since 2000, things have progressed and changed, yet ever so slowly. Acceptance, patience and understanding of people born into situations like the author was are present in today's society at mostly trace amounts it seems.
Actions have always and will forever speak louder than words. But the roars and screams of hate and indignity of the 1950's are merely muffled in the 21st century. Time has not changed the names or hateful dialect though. Hurtful rhetoric is still just as painful whether it be from a careless whisper or that of a fool yelling at you from just 5 feet away.
