About this ebook

A hot-headed thrash metal bassist struggles with his abusive family history that affects his future with his House Songstress fiance. World-renowned Ramiro Espinoza, the bassist/vocalist of the Heavy Metal band "IRATE" seemed to have it all on stage. But backstage, his life was far from perfect. Ramiro was raised in a religious household, where his Jesus-freak father constantly threw the Bible in his face. On top of that, he, his mother and sister endured lots of physical and emotional abuse. Music was an outlet for Ramiro, where he learned to play the bass guitar and finally found his voice to sing. He wrote lyrics about his bad relationship with his father and other issues in the world that vexed him. He and two other bandmates formed a trio with an aggressive, fast sound that captivated millions of listeners. Ramiro's girlfriend, Noelle, an African-American House Songstress gave up her career singing in small venues in New York to tour with her rock musician boyfriend. During the band's tour, Ramiro continuously belittled her and even got physical. Without hesitation, Noelle left him right in the middle of his tour. He knew he couldn't fight his own demons and needed professional help. His manager arranged for a counselor to travel with this Heavy Metal god and hold sessions between shows. Ramiro needed to make things right, so Noelle will walk down the aisle. But, the man who made his life a living hell as child has resurfaced to annihilate his future. Now, Ramiro must confront his father who's on a mission to destroy his happiness.
