Children abandoned by their mother and desperate for love
I am the author of the newly published book, "Daddy, your shoes didn't fit my feet." I left the coal mines of Kentucky when I was sixteen years old and came out west to California and later to Washington where I was a lumberjack and land developer. My wife, Lynn and I have been married 52 years and now live in Sun City West, Arizona where I write and put landscapes of the rivers and mountains that I love on canvas
excerpt from the book
** I heard the fearful agonizing screams coming from my mother. My heart filled with fear when I saw my stepfather, Woody holding Mom's long hair and beating her unmercifully. My twelve year old mind became filled with rage when I saw her fall into a huge briar patch. Mom screamed, "Oh merciful Jesus, help me," as Woody continued kicking her. It seemed like God and family had long ago deserted us. I hurried into the house, quickly loaded the rifle and ran to where Mom was laying, covered with blood and begging Woody to help her out of the briars that had entangled her. Raising the rifle, I aimed between Woody's eyes as my mothers words, "No, son, please, no" seemed distant as I pulled the trigger.**
