Abused for fifty years of his life he would fight back for once and the evil would be done but the abuse would continue it seems from the father's grave. Words from the Author: From the very first memories of our family there was joy. We were a family that loved to picnic and boat and visit with family members. We were a middle class family that seemed to be quite happy until... We would move into a home in the country down the road from a cemetery. Soon there would be many sleepless nights and not from the usual reasons. Before long our father would become angry and violent. There were paranormal activities in the home. One of which would cause my family to move out in the middle of the night during a thunderstorm never to return. Something would follow our family and wreak havoc through menacing abuse and horrible violence. There is a picture of the third house my family would move into trying to escape the evil spirit that plagued us. In the glass storm door behind me and my younger sister Mindy there is a demon lurking. You can see the devilish image in the glass. The photo is from 1973 and is the original photograph untouched. It has been kept in a bible for forty years in a locked safe. My family has always wanted me to burn it or get rid of the photograph but I never would. I knew it needed to be kept in a safe place for some reason. Unfortunately the old photo has to be added later to the book because it is too pix-elated.
About the Author: The author grew up in a severely abusive home. She had little else but her faith in God that held her up. Her grandmother gave her a bible in a beautiful wooden box when she was young and this became her lifeline. She tells her story here and it is one of strength and determination to set the record straight. She was a very good artist and writer as a child but never used her gifts as she was too broken a person from all of the abuse she endured. It would be many years of heartaches later that she would finally pursue her dreams and apply to writing school. She also went back to college to work on a degree and then the horrible tragedy struck her family that completely put her entire life on hold. The shocking story would then become the focus of her existence. As her brother's fate hangs in the balance. She resides in a small town in Michigan today. Terror Laden Memories That Haunt Me: "My nic name was Dee Dee as a child. I recall vividly my early childhood as a happy one. I recall our young aunts helping us move into our new home and babysitting happily." "By the time I would turn four my memories would be filled with horror, haunting's, and violence. I can still recall the fear trembling within my body as it had become a part of me. I breathed it in as though it was hung in the air itself. I still awaken from hearing the sounds of distant screams coming from inside my own head." Our younger sister was born six years younger than my brother and I and she would be the most damaged by it all. Being the youngest through the worst years caused her mind to fail her. Today she resides in a beautiful, long term care facility. I visit her several times a year and send her gifts often. I attended writing school and college in hopes of publishing children's books. I never expected to write this story until the worst happened. I survived living through this Hell on Earth through a bible my grandmother gave to me at the age of eleven.
