By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was seven years old when I saw my father’s neck bulge as he searched the neighborhood for men who might have been following my mother home. I didn’t know that people could live together harmoniously without punching holes in the walls or kicking the dog.

#2 My mother, Linda, was twenty-five years old and the most beautiful woman I ever saw. She had long silky hair and dusky brown eyes that made your heart melt, even if you didn’t want it to. She worked at a McDonald’s restaurant.

#3 When we look back at my father now, through a lens not crafted by him, we see a young zealot who, using the same mallet he used to build his kingdom, obliterated it into a million pieces.

Insights from Chapter 2

#1

My father became estranged from his family after we moved to Arkansas. He was constantly on the lookout for men, and whenever he saw one, he would immediately think of stealing his wife away from him. We had to tape trash bags across the windows to protect us from the men.

#2

I would hear my brother’s screams every time a sleeping bag unzipped or the chill of a wood floor rushed through my bare feet. It wasn’t a moment I wanted to remember, but Aunt Carol never taught me how to erase memories.

Insights from Chapter 3

#1

I had a sister, Gabby, who was born in late fall. She was perfect. I loved her very much.
