About this ebook

I LOVE YOU, MOM-Please Don't Break My Heart is the true story of one boy's journey through a childhood of physical, mental, and emotional abuse. John endured neglect, isolation, physical beatings, mental degradation and malevolent admissions into numerous mental institutions, and eventual attempted murder within the custodial supervision of his unscrupulous mother. This literary work is indeed John's factual account of his small, bruised body clinging to life, his struggle as a teenager fighting and winning against insurmountable odds, and his entrance into young manhood as a warrior for the young and innocent, protecting them from experiencing a similar childhood of hell on earth.

Ratings and reviews

Reading this broke my heart for John, I wept just trying to imagine the pain and neglect he endured. Makes me want to remind my children how important they are to my life. God bless you.

Only Jesus can heal the broken hearted and what a beautiful job he did with you! I pray that all your dreams of helping others come true.

I'm lost for words
