As far as Julia was concerned, there was no looking back.

Unfortunately, along with Randy’s affectionate behaviors came his highly dramatic, violent episodes. Having come from a similar home life, however, Julia didn’t blink an eye. It wasn’t until a grand finale abandonment that she recognized even her love wouldn’t be able to fix his issues.

Against the wishes of her own parents and her husband, Julia struggled to understand her abusive relationship and the right actions to take. When is it right to leave a spouse that you promised to stay with for life?

It would be another twenty years before she would learn about the final, horrific consequences of Randy’s actions and begin to understand the dangerous mental condition she had seen in him – Borderline Personality Disorder.

For anyone that questions whether they have been in an emotionally abusive relationship and where it could possibly lead, this book is a must read. It may even save your life.

Out of the Field: A Memoir https://mindstirmediabooks.com/product/out-of-the-field-a-memoir-full-of-family-betrayal-homelessness-survival-forgiveness-and-love/ https://mindstirmediabooks.com/product/out-of-the-field-a-memoir-full-of-family-betrayal-homelessness-survival-forgiveness-and-love/#respond Mon, 16 Sep 2019 12:21:38 +0000 https://mindstirmediabooks.com/?post_type=product&p=3233 The author’s early life was a twisted path of physical, sexual and verbal abuse so he anesthetized himself with alcohol and drugs to hide the pain. Later in life, he learned to forgive those who abused him only to discover his own body was his worst enemy as he endured 34 surgeries, often praying to die. Read his inspirational story.

LARRY A. LEE’S JOURNEY TO CLAIM HIS SOUL began at seven years old when he chose to defend his mother against his alcoholic father’s physical abuse in Unionville, Connecticut. ­ Three years later, his mother passed away from infectious hepatitis. Before her passing, Larry promised his mother he would grow up to be a “Good Man.”

Since the age of ten, life undoubtedly threw itself against Larry time and time again. All forms of unspeakable torments and challenges made up his adolescence in Burlington, Connecticut. At eighteen years old, while he was living in a field in Oklahoma City, a single act of kindness saved him, and it forever changed his life.

And so it was, his journey of ten million miles to keep the promise he made his mother led him to a seven-year-old boy, who adopted him. Larry held love in his hand, and then he conquered his world.

Living Under A “Rock”: “The Red House” https://mindstirmediabooks.com/product/living-under-a-rock-the-red-house-by-shannon-hannan/ https://mindstirmediabooks.com/product/living-under-a-rock-the-red-house-by-shannon-hannan/#respond Tue, 22 Jan 2019 17:15:03 +0000 https://mindstirmediabooks.com/?post_type=product&p=2546 Turning onto the gravel driveway, excitement wells up inside of me as I prepare to see my mom and two younger brothers, Tracy and Jason, whom I haven't seen in almost three months, and to be a family again after two years living with my father and older brother, Dana, since the divorce. But my father will not be staying with us in the "Red House" now that mom is remarried to her husband, Rocky. Just thinking of his name, "Rocky", makes me nervous and causes a shiver to travel down my spine. He is a large, powerful man with little patience for the weak and even less tolerance for those who don't respect him ... I climb out of the car with the "Red House" directly in front me, and the bark of the largest dog I have ever seen ringing in my left ear; the two-hundred-pound-Saint Bernard yanking on the chain attached to the collar around his neck, trying to break free to greet me with his large white fangs. The front door of the "Red House" is wide open, but completely void of any light, not even the bright rays of the sun are able to penetrate the darkness. Little did I know the evil hiding and waiting for me in the shadows on the other side of that door.

The Black Leather Satchel by Paula Czech https://mindstirmediabooks.com/product/the-black-leather-satchel-by-paula-czech/ https://mindstirmediabooks.com/product/the-black-leather-satchel-by-paula-czech/#respond Mon, 07 Jan 2019 04:41:14 +0000 https://mindstirmediabooks.com/?post_type=product&p=2159 “Czech relates her struggle to make peace with her painful childhood and to learn to accept emotional intimacy in her life. Her story begins when her mother flees with her boyfriend and the author after losing a custody battle with Czech’s father in Connecticut. The new family begins a new life on the Ben Davis Farm in Vermont, where the author says that she was later subjected to horrifying sexual abuse by her stepfather. Fortunately, she says several people helped her heal over the course of her life; she calls these people her “Angels.” The first and perhaps most important of these was Philippa Bassinger, the landlord of the Ben Davis Farm, who became something of a surrogate parent when she convinced Czech’s mother to allow the girl to leave home and attend first grade in Cooperstown, New York. Czech writes that other, later “Angels,” including neighbor’s and college professors, gave her the confidence and compassion to overcome obstacles in life. Her decision to finally rebuff her stepfather at age 11 demonstrated remarkable strength. She ultimately severed all ties with him, but his influence lingered as she struggled with intimacy for years. But the author’s unflinching, vivid depictions of her worse memories are a testament to her strength as a writer, and her ability to share her darkest moments with such honesty is formidable.” --Kirkus Reviews
