Описание: She slowly put both of her arms at her sides. There were two more burns. One was just above her left breast, and one down near her side, which looked much worse than the others. Alan felt like he wanted to puke. His mind went blank for a moment."They really hurt Al," she cried. "Can you make them better?"He didn't know what to say or do. He had seen and heard some bad things, but this was truly the worst. Alan held her lightly and she put her head on his shoulder."He was really mad this time," she said. "I told him no. I asked him not to. But the more I did, the madder he got at me. He started to hit me and then he started burning me with his cigar. The more I screamed, the more he'd relight it and do it again. Why didn't he just kill me? I wanted him to kill me. I kept asking God to let me die so it would be over, but He didn't listen to me either."___________________________________________________________________________________________________________Would you go back to confront the horrifying past that you've tried so hard to forget? It isn't easy going home to the place that nearly broke you.In 1984, Alan was just a kid living with an abusive, drug addicted mother. Growing up on the streets of Queens, NY Alan had to struggle to take care of himself - and four of his best friends. They all relied on him, partly because they also had no one else, and partly because he seemed to have a knack for the downtrodden. Fast forward fifteen years and Alan feels the warm summer breeze against his skin and hears voices he hasn't heard in a long, long time. Summerfield welcomes him like an old friend - a friend with history, knowledge and secrets that could change everything for Alan. Take a journey through the past and present with Alan, while he comes face to face with old loves and the horrible childhood that he'd left behind as a young teen. The past is a strange and beautiful thing. Some people run from it, some try to relive it, some try to recreate it, and some try to pretend that it didn't exist... yet the path builds and defines us all. For Alan, the past is a living, breathing thing that has chased him from the streets of Summerfield to present day, where is drags him back to his roots for a funeral that never should have had to happen. |
