He came forward slowly, in that curious toe-heel gait that Indians have. With a big left hand, he grabbed Marta by the hair and jerked her half out of the chair.
I hit him in the face and pulled Marta behind me.
“Keep your damn hands off her if you want to go on living,” I said.
He was surprised. The next thing I knew his gun was coming out of the holster.
I made my grab and didn't bother to aim.
I didn't hit him. I didn't even come close.
But I didn't need that first bullet. Just the muzzle blast.
And the Indian knew it. His mouth flew open as he slammed back under the impact, and before he could swing that pistol on me again, he was as good as dead. Views: 49

In this haunting and frank account, Donna Ford, bestselling author of The Step Child,
returns to the horrific abuse she suffered at the hands of her
stepmother. As a tiny girl of five, and for six long years, Donna was
physically, mentally and sexually abused. She was starved, beaten and
‘loaned out’ to neighbours who raped and molested her ... and throughout
her father stood by and did nothing. When her stepmother finally left
the family home, Donna dreamed of a normal childhood in which she would
be taken care of by the man who had, up until this point, failed her.
But it was not to be. By telling the whole story of her Edinburgh
childhood, Donna tries to understand why the man who should have loved
her the most – her own father – was the one who deceived her the most,
by continuing to allow men to abuse her. Instead of finding a future of
love and happiness, Donna was once again thrust into a living nightmare
of exploitation and betrayal by those who should have wrapped her up in
their love. While this is a story of the appalling abuse inflicted on
Donna, it is also a tale of how exhilaration, tenderness and
self-development can flourish despite childhood horrors. We take a
journey with Donna to discover the woman she has become: a devoted
mother of three and a talented artist and writer. Views: 49
