In 1983, Aces small, five-year-old world consisted mostly of Michael Jackson songs coming in full of static on a small kitchen radio as his mother cooked. He assumed that the frequent beatings meted out to him and his mother by his fathera man who was all vodka and venomwere all part of a normal, picture-perfect family. Labeled a sissy by his father, Ace was a prime target for the frequent tirades. Trapped: A Child with a Broken Heart shares gut-wrenching stories of Aces family, which included his domineering and drunk father; his mother, who was too afraid to leave; and a little sister who somehow escaped the torment. Left to do battle with real-life monsters, Ace made his way through school stumbling two steps behind as he navigated a never-ending barrage of bullies, questions, and sexual uncertainty. Still, he dreamed about getting ahead. Far from a traditional hero, he attempted to save himself. In this personal narrative, one man recalls his powerful journey from boy to not-quite man. It is a story about hope and about how the choices one makes can help make life better.
Ace is ready to begin his life. Embracing who he is he embarks on a journey of self discovery determined to be the man he knows he can be and not the man he may end up as if he allows anyone else to define him. Armed with little more than a desire for a better life, he sets out into the world only to be reminded that everything and everyone aren’t always what they seem or who they say they are. Following the familiar characters from “Trapped: A Child with a Broken Heart”, and introducing new faces and new complications,”Trapped: A Storm of Darkness, Shadow of a Nightmare” is a look at what happens when what you want and what the world may be willing to provide are two drastically different things.
