Abstract:
This story is both fact and fiction. Names, places, and some events have been changed. It is filled with humor, adventure, horror, sad times, happy times, and love. The main theme centers around the years when the Dawson family’s life becomes a living hell: to the point where they are almost consumed by the fire. Later, it is believed a curse has been put on the family by an occult leader, Olivia Baal, who attended an Exorcist meeting in the family’s home church. She attempts to possess Cealie Dawson’s three children, and manages to get one under her control. When Cealie confronts Olivia and gets the child back, Olivia threatens Cealie and the entire family with evil things to come. The entire family almost loses their mind and their lives. Finally, Cealie cries out to God for some answers: How did this curse come about? Why did God allow it, and why the Dawson family?
