Description

A cabin behind a padlocked gate, no power, no phone, only Revelation and a .38—a true story of abuse, loss, redemption and hope which winds from south Texas to a sycamore tree in Tennessee. Mike escaped his father’s fists but years later glimpsed himself in his father’s casket. Ginger named the sycamore tree for Trent. It grew slowly like independence. This special updated edition of the harrowing narrative by journalist Jennie Miller Helderman reveals domestic violence from the point of view of the survivor, her abuser, their family members. It includes an epilogue and resources for those with violent partners.

Advance Praise

“Jennie Helderman has taken a heart-breaking issue and boiled it down to human beings, of flesh and blood and lost days and fearful nights. It opens the door on a too-common human story and closes you in with it.”

—Rick Bragg, Pulitzer Prize-winner and international bestselling author of “All Over But the Shouting” and many other The New York Times bestsellers
