Book Cover & Preview Text
The turbulence had forced me to raise my hands for protection against one of life’s cruelest invasions that a child can be subjected to—sexual abuse at the hands of two different relatives who were also hiding behind their own closet doors because of the malicious things they had encountered in their own lives. Unfortunately, I became one of their victims and the outlet for all of their rage, self-loathing and anger that was buried deep within from their childhoods. The mighty winds erupted from this new turbulent storm in my life, causing a gusty, unpredictable flow of events from another human being who felt it ok to violate my personal temple. They were using their hands for something dirty and unnatural while I was trying to use my hands to wash away the shame and guilt that were left. Their actions had added more bricks to my wall and these new bricks became the catalyst for me to hate my very existence. I looked for more bricks to build a more solid wall to cover and protect me. Then, one day I discovered with all my knowledge and information that the wall had to come down but not by the way I constructed it, piece by piece, but a full-blown blast was needed to destroy it.

About the Book
I had too many secrets. I wanted out of this closet. People all over the world were coming out. We could see them on national TV and books had been written. What was so difficult about it? I had to be free to talk with my grandchildren about it. I didn’t want them to ever experience anything like this. There were more doors to open and bricks that needed to be blasted. What if my grandchildren changed their opinions of me when the truth was told? I couldn’t hide anymore, my hands needed to be free. I had lived a half of a century and the one person who knew the truth had already forgiven me. Now, it was my time to do the same.
