Excerpt
I changed their names. I shaped their minds. I was judge, jury, and executioner. No one could stop me. No one!
To anyone looking in, we were just a normal church going, family. No one was aware of the dark secrets we held within the walls of the tiny house by the swamp.

I had instilled the fear of god in them. I am not a woman to be tampered with. How could this be happening?
My one mistake…and I don’t make many… was not realizing that these stupid children would grow up.
