PREY: The Secret That Almost Killed Me

by Brad Watson

Prey offers a deep, first-hand accounting of my journey through childhood sexual abuse, the crazy ride that followed, and the near-fatal consequences of keeping my secret. I was seven years old when my life changed forever. Groomed and perfectly played, I was the victim of a neighbor on my small-town suburban street. For years, I had no idea what was happening or how the games we played would impact every aspect of my life. Tough details and the normalcy of it all juxtapose to set the scene for this story of a confused boy, just trying to fit in - just trying to find an identity through awkward adolescence and teenage years. You'll then be swept up in a wild arcing ride of sex, drugs, and rock and roll, only to come crashing down in a hail of suicidal flames when the crushing weight of the secret becomes too much to bear.
