A dark cloud hangs over Hillside Apostolic Church. Violating theft of virtue, murder, and psychological despair convolutes this presentation of abhorrent criminal behavior. Dark images of rape clash with sunny beach fishing days and a Rottweiler you can’t help but love. “Liberty” encompasses forgiveness, uncontrollable hatred, and relationships of true love, including descriptive images of mentally ill individuals. Freedom from violation is your right. Take your liberty and read this book. You will be rewarded with truth and freedom, and personal liberation. “Ms. Ralston’s brilliant introspective story brings new insight and understanding into the difficult reality of those living with mental illness.” - Pam Phipps, BS, Research Manager, Retired, University of Washington Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences “Kris Ralston’s latest book, ‘Liberty’, gives the reader a poignant, realistic look at mental illness.
