Short Excerpt From Each Book in the Trilogy
Bitter Memories: A Memoir of Heartache & Survival is the book that started it all. There is no way to “sugarcoat” child abuse, therefore be prepared for strong language and explicit content.
Excerpt from Bitter Memories (Book 1):
"Sarah, get up! We have to go."
"Why, Daddy? I thought you liked Carolyn."

Henry waited before asking his final question—the question he'd saved till the end. But first, he wanted to give Eli time to reflect on exactly what he had done. He wanted Eli to wallow in his misery a while longer...
