Two worlds intertwined, playing with my mind. Bike stunts with my little brother; family meals gobbled down; sitting in the church pew, wrestling with confusion. Spankings with a belt pulled out to injure and abuse. Nail-studded 2x4s striking tender skin, a punishment undeserved. Incensed voices, proclaiming self– justification, victory achieved through silence. Tied to a grimy pole in a basement, waiting...waiting for my transgressor to release me. Sound asleep in the safety of my bed, wondering at the form descending down on my small body. Words declaring love drowning out the abuse. Was this a house of love or terror?

At one point in history, Ruben Houston Burrow was the most wanted criminal in America. When Rube’s father learned Rube had become a train robber, he said, “I don’t approve of that but I’ll stand by you because blood is thicker than water.” His family was unique and did an incredible job back in the 1800’s in protecting him in creative ways. His mother was the local untrained doctor who had a following. The author owns the land where Rube used to hide out in a large cave when he came back to Alabama from Texas. A true story told in creative non-fiction style.
