Writing this book about abuse in his growing up years, Randall E. Eldred wasn't able to write everything that happened because the pain was too deep to handle. Abuse is all around us today. Sometimes being in an abusive relationship can take you down to your lowest point and teach you a lesson. But you can change anything if you keep your feet on the ground and keep moving forward. Randall himself has made some mistakes in his life and done things he never thought he would do. Randall's hope is that after reading this story that people will pick themselves up and get out of an abusive relationship. No one has the right to abuse anyone. Randall hopes that this book will help the reader understand better what abuse can do to a person, both mentally and emotionally. Thank you and best wishes to all. About the Author Randall E.
