Wounds of the Father: A True Story of Child Abuse, Betrayal, and Redemption
By Elizabeth Garrison.
In the
bestselling tradition of Smashed and Glass Castle, this raw, eye-opening
memoir tells the powerful story of Elizabeth Garrison’s fractured childhood,
descent into teenage drug addiction, and struggle to overcome nearly
insurmountable odds. Elizabeth invites the reader behind the closed doors of a
picture-perfect Christian family to reveal a dark, hidden world of child abuse,
domestic violence, and chilling family secrets all performed in the name of God
under the tyrannical rule of her father. Like countless teenage girls, Elizabeth
turns to drugs and alcohol to escape. With smack-you-in-the-face honesty,
Elizabeth chronicles the dark realities and real-life horrors of teenage drug
abuse, living on the streets, foster homes, and treatment centers. She paints
an unsparing portrait of scratching and clawing her way out of the grips of
child abuse, addiction, and betrayal to find the strength within herself to
save her own life.
A
former slave who is now a feared warlord, a princess, a king, angels
and fallen-angels make this an epic romance you will love from the
start.
When the Seraphim ruled the heavens, a vain angel dared to risk everything for the love of a human and paid the price of eternal damnation.
Sold into slavery when he was six years old, Kai has never known love. As he reached maturity, his slavers realized Kai was no ordinary man. There was something else lurking inside. An uncontrollable force which feeds on his rage and anger giving him the advantage when thrown into the fighting pits of Darkmide to fight for his life. Here he learns that killing brings rewards when after each win he is given a female slave to sate his sexual needs.
After years of many victories and a life of pain under the lash, in a bloody battle Kai breaks free from his chains and releases all the slaves, and raging a war against the slavers, he kills them all. Closing down the goldmines in Darkmide, he vows no one else will die doing the backbreaking work of harvesting gold.
His deeds are famed throughout the lands, and after four years, he settles in Blackhill, a town not far from Darkmide, where he rules with a firm hand.
King Garlan from Brightstone, afraid of losing his throne to a threat from the Highlands, and hearing of Kai’s formidable reputation, sends his envoy to request an alliance with the infamous warrior. The agreement is to offer his daughters hand in marriage, Princess Eloise, in exchange for Kai’s support. Kai instantly falls for the beautiful princess and soon discovers he’s not the only one with a secret.
The princess holds a power gifted to females on her mother’s side by the seraphim. Controlled all of her life by her father and brother, Eloise is timid and shy, but she soon learns to overcome these traits.
The Highland Lord arrives in Blackhill and he meets with Kai and the king. Many secrets are revealed which bring answers to Kai’s lineage, though stubbornness causes him to discard them as false.
When an act of betrayal causes the alliance to break, Kai rejects Eloise. Stubborn and running away from confrontation, Kai is about to lose everything, and only his trusted friend, Sabe, shows him that his fears of dying alone will come to fruition unless he admits his need for love. Submitting to his needs, Kai and Eloise unite and the alliance forms once more.
A connection between Kai and a fallen-angel, who is systematically destroying all the nearby towns, is revealed, bringing the two of them together in a battle that could kill everyone in Blackhill and all those Kai cares for. He attempts to fight the fallen angel, but he is badly injured. In a twist of fate, Eloise is the key to aiding Kai and his friends to defeat the vengeful fallen angel.
Can Eloise save Kai and the town of Blackhill from the destruction of the fallen angel? What does the future hold for Kai?
Join Kai and his friends on an epic journey which takes you in to a world of angels and fallen angels, plots, twists, and love and passion.
