Book excerpt: This book is a contribution towards the efforts made for help in cases of child abuse of any form. It is a fictional account of a family who went through the horrors of abuse, and came out with dignity and triumph over the most adverse of conditions and circumstance. Despite the fact that the characters are fictitious, one can correlate some of the happenings in the book with real life events, that could take place anywhere in the world, and with any family, irrespective of creed, race or religion. The latter part of the book deals with life after death. Taking into consideration the fact that the writer is very much still alive, the events described after death are those which make the story line complete imagination and speculation. You can draw from this book encourage-ment, and consolation that better things in life will come to those who persevere, struggle and take on what they are faced with...no matter what.
