Steven

His father abused his mother and he witnessed it. Sometimes as a 3 year old, he would hide in the closet, and cry while his daddy abused his mother.By the time he was 5 years old he had witnessed a neighbor enter his living room with a butcher knife protruding from her back. Her husband had stabbed her. Her husband had tried to pull the knife out of her back to stab her again, but the knife had gotten stuck between her rib bone. She was able to run for help while he went to get another knife. At 11 he watched a man chase his wife around their home shooting at her. She was able to make it into her home and blockade the door with her body, her husband shot her through the door. That same year "he" stood at the the threshold of his mother and fathers bedroom door with a knife in his right hand, confronting his father and prepared to kill him if he continued to assault his mother. "Take your mutha fucking hands off my mama!" Those words should have never been spoken by a 11 year old boy.This book "Steven" represents the horrors of domestic violence.
