Whisper: A Tainted Love Story

by R&C Christiansen, J Olson (Editor)

My brother and I were kidnapped at eight & six years old. For eleven years, we’d been locked away. Forced to endure abuse, molestation, and torment that made us wish we were never born. Pax and Verna, two other victims, suffered the same fate. It was one thing to be molested myself. It was another seeing them experience it and not be able to help them.When we finally escaped, I thought that our hell and pain were over. I was wrong. The years that followed did nothing but feed my anger and make me more protective of my family, Verna becoming the love of my life and my strongest reason to live. I’d become possessive of her and wouldn’t let anyone hurt her ever again. They’d have to kill me first, but it wouldn’t be easy. Not when parts of me were already dead, and every breath I took was solely for Ever since we were kids, Ken had become a leader to the four of us trapped in a house of horrors. After we’d escaped our captors, we couldn’t locate our parents and were rejected by the world that seemed to forget us. We wandered from place to place, trying to find a home where we could fit in and be loved for who we were. What we had become.Now we’re back in Clancy, Montana, where it all began, and madly in love, or is it just mad love? None of us had the desire to dredge up the past, but somehow, we were drawn back to the very place this nightmare began. When Detective Benson reappeared with questions about my past, it was more than I could bear. He hadn’t helped us ten years ago when I tried to report it, and now I didn’t want his help. I only wanted to move on from the pain. TRIGGER This book contains strong subject matter that may not be suitable for all readers.
