Excerpt
"The vision of my Uncle Kenneth playing the game he liked to call, "The Boogie Man," in order to sexually molest my sister and I came through the reel-to-reel in my head...he whispered in my ear, "Sit Still!"...Then I heard, 'flick' and I saw the flame of his lighter...I put my hands up to try and push him away. That's when he grabbed my hands, held them tightly together, took his lighter and burned my fingertips."
