Hate Too Love

by Richard Ormsbee, Chris Ashby (Editor)

Hate Too Love is a story of survival inspired by one exceptional woman, a mother determined to shelter her two children from a rhythmic cycle of atrocious domestic abuse. Shouldering the burden of hatred from her oldest son, she must use prolific strength and tough love as she makes a mother’s ultimate sacrifice in order to save them all. Eleven-year-old Michael has to cope with a false reality he has been groomed to believe is genuine. A decade lost, his young life spirals out of control, as he feeds off the random memory of others in order to learn the true story of his upbringing that has been repressed and veiled so well that he has no childhood to speak of. As he unravels the truth, his misguided hatred, especially of his mother eats away his soul as his alcoholic father’s schizophrenia awakens a past that is incomprehensible.
