Forgive Me, Father (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798295806117)

I was born to be pure,

obedient, and silent.

I was taught that desire was sin

and pain was proof of love.

But you can only pray away the hunger

for so long before it turns into something

else.

I left home to save myself from a man

who called sanctified cruelty love,

and I met another who showed me

what love really was,

beautiful, brutal, and anything but holy.

Now every choice I make tastes like sin,

and every breath feels like confession.

My name is Judah Levon.

This is what salvation costs.
