THEY Live in My Tainted SOUL

At the age of nine, Ginger Radcliffe witnessed the death of her mother at the hands of her father. To help her cope with the trauma, she developed two alternate personalities, Amanda and Crystal. They are Ginger's safety net until her eighteenth birthday-when they convince Ginger to avenge her mother's death by murdering her father.

For Amanda and Crystal, however, this is merely the first step in their revenge plot. Reminding Ginger of her traumatic childhood that was further devastated by sexual abuse, they encourage her to continue her righteous work. Soon, Ginger embarks on a crusade to rid the world of abusers, enacting unspeakable violence on those who performed unthinkable acts on innocent children. But, unable to sort through the mounting chaos of her life, Ginger soon descends into despair. Will she ever regain her true identity and be freed from these demons?

In the vein of J. J. Staples's Deflowered Lyric, Miriam O. Everest uses graphic language and blunt detail to raise awareness of the despicable world of child sexual abuse and prompt others to champion the elimination of this appalling act.
