Personal Memoirs: Bitter Memories and Drowning in Memories
Told from the heart, Bitter Memories is dedicated to all survivors of abuse. In order to write this book I had to relive all those bitter memories, hoping that exposing the horrors I lived through would help prevent them from happening to others, and that more survivors could find a path toward healing.
Although not a book for the faint of heart, this is an unforgettable story about living a life on the run, dealing with hunger, fear and molestation, proving that survival is possible — even under the worst circumstances — by holding onto a strong will to live.
Strong adult language and content throughout.
Drowning in Memories continues my story, written in two parts. Not all memories are bad in this book.
Part One is titled Bitter Tasting Memories; Part Two, titled After Midnight, is dedicated to my big brother, who I had not formally met, or even knew he was my brother in Bitter Memories.
Also included is a bonus story, One In A Million: A True Story of Friendship. The moment I met David we became instant friends. Trusting me with a secret that he'd held inside for so long, David not only changed the direction my life was heading but, sharing a piece of his soul with me, I learned the devastating news that I could not save my friend from what was to happen in his own life. A touching, heartfelt story about a man, a dear friend, who loved life, family and friends so much.
NOTE: After Midnight and One In A Million are both included in Drowning in Memories, but they are also available as singles.
