About this ebook
I still think about Peter, the man I loved most in the world, all the time.
At two in the afternoon, when he would come and pick me up and take me for rides; at five, when I would read to him, head on his chest; in the despair at seven p.m., when he would hold me and rub my belly for an hour; in the despair again at nine p.m. when we would go for a night ride, down to the Royal Cliffs Diner in Englewood Cliffs where I would buy a cup of coffee with precisely seven sugars and a lot of cream. We were friends, soul mates and lovers.
I was seven. He was fifty-one.

A captivating and intriguing story. Regardless of the horror that is child abuse this book was enlightening and perceptive, a love story with a terrible twist. Not just the dirty old man in the park is a danger. And knowledge is power!

A compelling read, slowly unfolding the complexity of love between the abuser and the love the victim felt.
