The Taft Family’s Before and After 5. Georgia Sojourns

   (4 reviews)

This story is a prequel and sequel to my previous story, ‘The Boy on the Porch.’ While that was mostly Brendan’s point of view, this will be from the members of the Taft family's perspectives. It will cover things that happened before Nick was kicked out of his house, hit the necessary high points of what was covered in the first story, then continue on with their later lives, expanding on their pieces of the epilogue contained therein. I initially envisioned it to be Nick's story, but quickly determined it would be fairly short, so they all get some attention.

As with book one, there will be references to child abuse and homophobic slurs. As usual, specific chapter notes will be present.
I believe I’ve sufficiently covered things from everyone else’s point of view to not require reading that story prior to this one, but you would get a lot more background if you do. Although, I will warn you, there will be spoilers in this story about the other if you decide to read this first. There will be one or more chapters for each of the family members.

This story is hard to read cause of the  circumstances  but I promise you will not be disappointed in the ending. So read through and enjoy the law sticking it to the law breakers and to the family that endured the heart stopping pain of parents that did not deserve to be parents. Thank God for their Uncle who came to their rescue! 

Response from the author:

Thanks for the great review. I'm glad I was prompted for this after completing the first story.

As with its prequel/sequel The Boy On The Porch, this story is at times harrowing to read. The subject matter is not for the faint hearted and in lesser literary hands than those of @Lee Wilson its grotesque events may have obscured all that was good, of which there was plenty.

Some may question that two humans, particularly the parents of three innocent children, could be so depraved. If this be the case, research Rosemary and Fred West.

An excellent, if disturbing read from a prolific contributor to GA.

 

 

Response from the author:

Thanks @Summerabbacat. I guess in the end, this and the previous, related story, did hit a lot harder than I probably initially intended.

My prolificity will probably take a slow down for a bit, the next story isn't flooding out of my brain like many of the others have. But I agree, I have been one of the busiest since I joined about a year and a half ago.

This is the wonderful sequel/prequel to 'The Boy on The Porch'

We go indepth into the Taft Family and what made in tick. We learn this through the eyes of the various family members.

Some parts of the story, make for hard reading.

Highly recommended, along with The Boy on The Porch.

Response from the author:

Awesome, thanks Chris.

The Boy On The Porch hits you hard. Then, this more detailed picture from tough beginnings to beautiful endings hits you even harder. Both are well worth the read. 

Response from the author:

Thanks for the great review. It still surprises me sometimes when people like my work.
