Book Cover & Preview Text
As the two siblings got older, Brianna recognized there was something seriously wrong with Brent, but she did not think there was any reason to say anything. She had seen some of his really dark, scary images that he would draw night after night and hide under his bed. They were beyond monsters, they were people committing crimes. He drew people shooting other people or hanging them or drawing lewd pictures on their naked bodies. He was doing this by the time he was eleven. It really scared Brianna and when she would ask him about them, the ominous, dangerous scowl he would turn on her, would silence her. By the time Brianna was eleven and Brent was twelve, things were worse. She witnessed Brent viewing porno sites on the computer and when she would threaten to tell their parents, he would simply pull out a kitchen knife he had stolen from the kitchen and lightly tap it against the palm of his hand, while looking at her and saying nothing. She got the message. Brianna was afraid of her brother, but she still loved him very much.
Suzette almost wanted to comfort Daniella because she (Daniella) was obviously and visibly shaken. Suzette, however, had to deal with her own pain at this loss. After all, Lexus was her child, not Daniella’s. Within seconds, her emotions ranged from sympathy, compassion, and comfort to anger, grief and irritation. This was “her” child, not the people who worked here. They were to support and help her, not break down and need reassurance from her. The only reason she was here was to pick up the last of Lexus’ belongings. As quickly as these emotions washed over her, they dissipated and she began to remember how this all began. Even as she left the Center and began her trek home, her stomach tightened in dread and sorrow and triggered more memories for her.

Francesca sat in her brand new beautiful home that far exceeded her wildest dreams, with tears flooding from her eyes; tears of grief, emptiness and sadness, just hoping against hoping against hope that her sister would find her way to her.
Continue this journey with David, his family and friends as they meet the Francescas and Billys of the world; as they meet old and new acquaintances who have been influenced by choices of others, as well as the innocents that were impacted as Ordinary Victims in Human Cages.
