This is a story of a tragic and terrifying childhood, as told by a little girl living in a dysfunctional family in the Midwest during the seventies and eighties. You will see it as she did, telling it day by day-as best she can. How could one possibly view the world with all the horror she endured? You will see it thorough Amara's eyes as only she can tell it. You will share in the few triumphs and the many failures in her search for innocence.
In her own words, "July 23, 1971 was my first beating from my father, Jeb. He beat my mother, Rose.. And sent her into preterm labor-taking me from the only safe place I will ever know.."We understand from the opening words that this will be unforgettably tragic. As the tale unfolds, it becomes apparent that Amara was born into a world that offered little compassion or love, only pain and terrifying defilement at every turn.
If ever there was a family that was destined to suffer the torments of hell, this was it. You will see the effects of the torment upon a little girl as she attempts to retain her sanity. How does one slip from the sane world into the shadowy world of delirium? You will see it slowly twisting and turning-cutting, like a knife-moving her wounds ever closer into the brink of madness. Will she survive or will she slip into a world of damnation?Readers will get a glimpse behind the scenes with the creation of the book when Amara corresponds with Reynold Jay (co-writer) and Linda, a reader.
Actual emails between the trio give the reader a peek at Amara many years later. This is fascinating reading as we see the trials of completing this enduring manuscript. Co-Author, Reynold Jay says, "Be warned. This is a shocking tale told close-up in all its horror. Be prepared for terror beyond comprehension as you read this unforgettable true story of torment.
