Life After Rape

"A child brutalized, a family destroyed, a community wounded...but the story doesn't end there..." The summer of 1973-the time when Michael Johnson's life was struck by tragedy. The life of an innocent nine-year-old boy growing up in Charleston, SC was horrifically transformed by an act of rape by a stranger. This book is the first in a series describing his life after rape. Watch the effects the rape had on his life, his mind, his family, and his actions. A sense of vengeance and drug use led Michael in-and-out of incarceration, rehabilitation facilities, and mental institutions. Drugs seemed like the only solution that allowed him to escape reality and the horrific images that haunted him daily. His life went from bad to worse to hopeless in a matter of days. Throughout the series, see how Michael learned from his actions, accepted his rape, and achieved spiritual freedom. This series is intended for anyone who desires to hear a message of strength, hope, and courage. Michael's hope is that those who have been through a similar situation will find empathy and support from someone who has already walked the oppressive, dark path after rape or drug addiction. You are not alone. There is a way out from "The Pits of Hell."
