Publisher's Synopsis
Mugged by Reality, a collection of fictional short stories based on true events, W. Lyman Ferrell's first book, is a reflection on the jaded views of our late and early millennium culture. Ferrell's writings are a reaction to kids killing classmates, presidents diddling interns, vigils to stop capital punishment with no thought of reparations to the families of the victims, violence against pro-life fetuses and violence against pro-choice teenagers, and the slow torture of aging disabilities. Make no mistake-these stories are earthy and are told with no apologies.
