A lyrically charged journey that goes beyond taboo to reach a troubled young boy at the center of abuse that shattered his childhood. With nowhere to turn for help, he buries the memories and pain deep inside, lost in a young boy’s mind and hopefully gone forever. As a grown man now in his fifties and a successful corporate professional, he begins to reflect on what he considered a decent life. Looking in the mirror brings back the young boy and these memories start to consume and haunt him.
For the first time, he tries to face not only what was done to him but what he had done to others, as the abused became the abuser. Disgusted and tormented by the guilt, he decided to share his story. “Scars” delivers a therapeutic balm to a difficult subject. Musically driven and underpinned by one man’s goal to forgive the past and be forgiven for the subsequent abuse he inherited.
For anyone who has suffered sexual and physical abuse, this book is a long overdue conversation. Join this young boy as he embarks on an escapade to heal as a man, the only way he knows how, through words and music.
