"The Book Chapter 34 Years"

I was reading this book  called "The Book  Chapter 34 Years".  my my my I'm amazed at some of the stuff she went through.


In the beginning she was thought she was a regular kid.  She had a mother and a father who lived in the same house and were married.  She was the only child and life seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary.  The earliest she can remember her child hood was 2nd grade anything prior to that is unfortunately a faded memory....

...She remembers waking up and seeing blood on the floor.  Yes the same little girl who would store her gum on her headboard with feet in her pajamas would wake up to blood on the floor.  They had been fighting again.

...She doesn't remember what she said to him, but she remembers the slap.  The slap, the slap, the slap.  He was always slapping her or saying he was going to slap her.  She vaguely remembers the first one as she thought to herself, that's my "niggar".

...they were in love and then he told her he had to marry the girl from Jersey because she was pregnant.  She looked at him and in disbelieve and the pain rose so fast inside of her she couldn't acknowledge what she was feeling.... from the phone booth he pulled her by her forefinger as she was trying to dial a number...


... She made  mad dash around the dining room table but she wasn't fast enough before she knew it there was a warm sensation running down the side of her face...

...he was supposed to protect her but when she saw the bullet hole in the wall...

...She could be believe it she was on the floor and before she could get her second foot on the floor he hit her again...

... it was was a regular night but this time she got a bottle and she banged it on the stair railing so as to cause the tip to shatter because she wasn't about to let him hit her and get away with it, not this time...

...she thought to herself this is it finally a man who won't hit me...13 years later she was amazed at long she endured the abuse...

... it all started at the ripe age of 15!
