| Publisher Description: "The Broken Son" is the first installment in a three part series of short novels. It depicts the life of a pre-teen boy who is emotionally and physically abused while growing up in Detroit, Michigan during the 1980s. The boy is so distraught with his surroundings he believes that his parents are determined to kill him. To make matters worse, the boy frequently hallucinates about an evil clown who appears to him during his troubles only to add fuel to his parents fire. The second book in the trilogy titled "Without A Home" details the boy's teen years in foster care and eventually his time in residential housing for troubled youth. The abuse he once took from his parents is now delivered from the kids he is forced to live with who have severe problems of their own. "Never Again" is the third and final story in this emotionally gripping saga. The boy, now a man returning home from war must once again deal with living under his parents' roof. Only this time around, he wants to do the killing. |
