Anatomy of Violence


Book Description

I hope that people who read this book will see a true story in fictional form about the horror of inter-generational violence and how lives are destroyed, and happiness abandoned, and human hearts remain homeless. At the same time, I hope the reader will see a story of redemption and salvation even though it takes generations. I hope the reader will read a story that uses fiction to reveal a deeper and universal story of violence as an expression of self-hatred, mental illness, and intergenerational suffering that only requires love to break its hold on a family.
