About the Book:

A phone call from a high school friend launches a series of unexpected events that tear apart a man’s world, shocking his family, and impacting a community. Emotional scars rip wide open, exposing a buried traumatic experience that set the foundation to this disturbing story.

Sexual abuse, seizure disorder, addiction, and family-related problems limit and scar him early in life.  As this troubled man sorts through memories from his early teens to middle age, trying to make sense of his life, we are able to see the slow, sure degradation of his soul.

For decades, he led what seemed to be a normal life, but now suffers as the problems of his past are unleashed.  With his world turned upside down, an attempt to find, and finally confront, his abuser years later challenges the man’s strength and serenity.
