This is not your typical writer. This is not your typical story. It was not a typical life. So it is not a typical book. It certainly runs against the grain on every level. Enjoy. THE UNPROTECTED. Is an extremely compelling, brutally honest portrayal of the consequences a child must face by the cold and in-compassionate hands of abuse. As told through the blackened eyes and the horrific memories of the abused. And how those multiple abuses, mentally, emotionally, sexually and physically affected his life throughout the years, and led him down a deep dark path of rampant drug and alcohol abuse to escape the pain starting at a very young age. Also, how living through those abuses, and the poverty of having alcoholic and drug addicted parents. And a number of other adults through his early years, pushed him towards a life of lying, cheating and thievery to get what he thought he needed to have a better chance at a normal life. Victors memories start with the story of himself at four years old. Dealing with extreme mental and emotional torture by irrational parents who had him believe there was a Boogeyman living in the basement of his very first home that was going to take him downstairs for punishment whenever he misbehaved. Soon after that, he was sexually molested by two brothers that lived next door when he was seven years old. The middle of the story from nine to twelve is riddled with brutally descriptive physical abuses at the hands of his first stepfather. And he received absolutely no help at all from those that should have been there to protect him. Then, at twelve and a half years old, being run over by a car crushing both of his legs, with one of his earlier molesters behind the wheel of that car. You will be shocked by the brutally and insensitivity of the abusers, and be amazed by the strength and the desire to get through it by the abused. This is only the first volume of what will be three. But it is by far going to be the most important, as it will show how the child was molded into the man he would eventually become.
