Sacrificial Lamb

By M.M. Maxwell

From manipulated to manipulator. Retribution, irony, a twist, disgust, revenge, empathy and admiration, all come into play as you follow this dark tale told by a woman who is living a life of complacency - as we often do - while slowly and cruelly being deprived of all free will through abuse and confinement until eventually, consumed with self-loathing, and along with the help of a few friends and her brave children she creatively works to take back control.
Excerpt:
I often wonder what paths our lives might have taken had I done things differently that night. I might have picked Ray2 up and taken him to an all-night diner; spoken to him; maintained some sort of semblance of unity. But I didn’t. It was later, when I could find no peace, thinking again and again how I had willingly left him to that path, how I had abandoned my responsibilities toward him, that I was blinded to all sense of decency and morality, that I was driven to absolute desperation, and took the steps that eventually lead us here.

M.M. Maxwell

Hmmm...why is it I can write about everyone else but when it comes to writing about myself I get writers block. I live in sunny California. I have a long-time relationship with a wonderful man. He and I love to travel and explore new and exotic places. I have an MA in public administration and a BA in psychology. I spent a number of years in the silicon valley rat race. I went to UCSD but that was years ago. More recently I completed a program for teaching certification with a specialization in special education. I come from a large Catholic family. I don't have any children of my own but consider my many, many nieces and nephews to be like my own children (only part time - so much better). I had to put the love of my life to sleep in January of this year. He was my dog Keo. Keo appears in the books I am writing so you will get to know him a little as I did.
