Publisher's Synopsis
Born out of wedlock into unimaginable sorrow, Tom Tabor suffers the constant pangs of humiliation and endless hopelessness in rural Ironton, Ohio. The only love he will ever know begins with the seven-year-old daughter of the local preacher. That purest of love ends before he reaches manhood and has already committed four of his six murders.
Surrounded by evil and the darkness of his childhood, Thomas Tabor continues to fall deeper into a life of bitter loss, unspeakable pain, and the ten mortal sins he believes can never be forgotten nor forgiven. The story begins as he awaits his execution on death row, just one month away.
Tina Marie, Tom's childhood love and now wife of the Kansas Governor, appears after thirty-five years and attempts to save the soul of the little boy who once showed her the secret place-that place that holds both memories of innocent love and true wickedness.
In the telling of Thomas Tabor's life, you will find sorrow, disdain, untold misery, and the real evil that can engulf man. Yet, in the end, you might also find hope, forgiveness, and grace.
