Book Cover & Preview Text
I remember one night;the three of us were sitting on the couch real close together; my step-father (the mad man), my mother and myself. I was sitting in the middle of them. He looked at me and said, “tell your mothert,that when she goes to work, you and I are going to”. He wispered the word........ I was never the typical happy child out playing with no worries; no, that was never me. I was the total opposite. Always scared , always crying, wondering why my mother didn't defend me the way a mother should. That following morning, I had on a white dress, real pretty dress; I can't remember if I was on my way to church or had just gotten back from there. But what I do remember was “the mad man” lying on the bed lookingreally mad holding a cain. As I walked out from the kitchen, he screams at me and throws the cain straight at me. Luckily he missed but I was so scared and all shook up. That night while everybody was sleeping; I was feeling so sick and tired of all the abuse; I just wanted all to end. So I got up from the floor where I was sleeping at and slowly tip toed myself to the kitchen drawer and pulled out a knife. I was so afraid to even look at it; it gave me chills, but I slowly did grab it and slowly walked back to the bed where he was laying at. I slowly held up the knife and looked at him with tears coming down my face ready to stab him. I just wanted to end all the abuse and all the pain.
