Before the Aurora: Secrets Kept Secrets Exposed Secrets Told (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798420848616)

Psychological thriller A gripping tale of survival, murder, redemption...
In the 1970's domestic abuse was a family secret. It was not a crime. There were no services to
help women and children escape the violence. It was widely accepted that women provoked
their own abuse. Even families looked the other way. What happened behind closed doors was
a private issue. Hopeless, helpless, women and children endured or found their own way to survive.

Handsome Frankie Shade lived a tormented life for over twenty years.
Everything was against him. Broken by a grizzly childhood. Abandoned by his mother
at the age of eight. Mistreated by his monster father. Frankie feels worthless.
He lives on the fringed of social interaction. Every small glimmer of hope is stripped
from him. When will his nightmare end?

Frankie is powerless, but he survives because of the people who come into his life,
his loving and faithful neighbor, Mrs. Neary, his stepmom, Carol Ann, his employer,
Mr. Johnson, his first love, Madelyne, and his sponsor, Peter.
Frankie is forced to look deep within himself. Is he nothing like his father or
is he truly the monster's offspring?
Secrets kept Secrets exposed Secrets told Can murder be forgiven?
