About this ebook

The Tarot predicts the journey as Ray Long comes to the town of Pettington hoping to leave his rage behind and begin a new life. And when he meets Skye Roosevelt, he begins to believe he can recreate himself and find his future in Pettington. But Pettington is no ordinary town with a metaphysical store that tells its future, a whore house that keeps it financially secure, and secrets long buried just beneath its surface. And soon Ray Long begins to spiral down into the pit of violence he has always known. He begins to hear the Devil whisper in his ear, and he soon discovers his old self is more soothing to him than the new life he’s created. And when he tries to murder two of Pettington’s own, Skye Roosevelt must search deep within herself for her own self identity in order to protect her son as Ray Long battles the past in order to separate the passion from the pain.

Broken Wing is a story about an abuser who was a victim of abuse as a child. This is a story about his family relations, the need for love, the devastation of rejection, and the merry-go-round that keeps turning. And this story is about self-identity, a self-identity the character believes defines him, dark and rigid, until he is pushed to the extreme, only then can he step out and stand naked with this identity at his feet as he lays claim to the past that molded him and the passion that fills his heart.

    Broken Wing will take you on a roller coaster of different emotions as you are taken through a genuine and painful story of past abuse and it's effect on the suffering the victim and the victims family and friends go through. There are plenty of mental break downs and you can feel the psychological strain that is put on everyone in Skye and Ray's life.While reading this book you are also picking up little pieces of advice on how to love again, and forgive and love those in your life that have hurt you, and how to protect yourself along the way. Slowly you are opened up to the characters mind and you understand their personality bit by bit. This gave me a great sense of connection to each of the characters, and I was anxious to find out more as I continued to read.This would be a great book for a book club to discuss since there are so many subliminal messages and symbolism that could mean different things to different readers. I would be interested in hearing what other readers of Broken Wing thought of the book. I would discuss how each reader comprehended the book, how the book effected them, and what they took away from the book. It's powerful, profound, and opens may readers eyes to the abuse and neglect that people out there are hiding, without giving you the slightest impression they live with deep dark secrets. Just goes to show you can't judge a book by a cover, or a person by their smile on their face.The cover is intriguing enough to catch any readers eye, which helps considering it was lacking a synopsis that accurately describes what kind of book you are picking up. I found no spelling or grammar issues, which was a relief considering the complexity of the book. You can't prepare yourself for what is contained inside this book, or how it will personally effect you. I give this book a 5/5.
