About this title

From the Publisher:

The author lived through nine years of physical and sexual abuse.Her siblings and herself were starved, beaten and used sexually by a demented father. Her story chronicles this nightmare.Some portions of this book deal with sexual abuse, including child molestation, incest and bestality. These sections are not meant for titillation, there was nothing exciting about what occurred. It was brutal degradation and against all laws both civil and moral.The author views her life as filled with triumph and conquest. You will not find any self-pity for the tragedies of her youth.

From the Author:

This is the story of my life as I remember the actual events. This book is not an attempt to embarrass or cause harm to any of the participants. For that reason many of the people in this story have had their names changed or omitted entirely.

It is my sincere hope that the publication of this book may help ease the anguish others may be feeling, those who have suffered from similar circumstances. As for myself, this book serves a twofold purpose, the first being the closure of my nightmarish past and secondly, the redemption of promises made to members of my families. My loved ones; both birth and adopted.

There are numerous mentions of supernatural events. These continue to make their presence known to me. I do not ask you to believe but only to understand how they have influenced my life. I have made a journey back through time, a regression of sorts. As modern science has shown, even eyewitness accounts can be flawed. Therefore any errors that may come to light are strictly unintentional and i ask your forgiveness.
