When a person thinks people do not love them, they do anything. Mary Thompson is one of these persons. Earlier than age three, it is normal for Mary's oldest brother, James, to abuse her. As Mary grows older, the more James breaks her spirit, and grooms her for a life of pain and despair. At age seven, she discovers her identity. At age nine, her father, Guy, who she admires more than anyone else, is gone. Feeling abandoned, rejected, and unloved, a cruel and unfair life hurls Mary on a rebellious path to destruction. Her addictive-compulsive behavior leads her to quit the sixth grade, and then she goes down dead-end streets of sex, drugs, and alcohol. Mary opens up to forbidden lusts, and fatal-attraction relationships. Darkness surrounds her and it follows her everywhere she goes. It hovers over her shoulders. Once, it has claws. Several occasions, by the grace of God and prophetic dreams, she escapes death. She is not the only one who pays the price for her sinful living. Her six children pay an awful price too. Mary's web of anguish, depression, and grief catches them also. Mary did not have a normal childhood. How could she give her children a normal life? To receive the true love, she so desperately needs, Mary has to open her eyes from the darkness that hates her. But, why would she? She loves the darkness. At times, it comforts her.
