No Comfort: a Nightmare of Physical, Psychological, and Sexual Child Abuse; a Journey of Forgiveness and Reconciliation; a Story of Courage, Love, and Hope Dan Pietsch

Young Llewellyn Trout and his sister, Misty, know humanity's dark side all too well.

A dysfunctional family. An alcoholic father. A twisted and sociopathic care-giver. Horrific child abuse.

Unfortunately, as Llewellyn matures, things don't get much better. His family is murdered. There are suicides. A respected teacher has his career destroyed. And Llewellyn feels responsible for it all. Perhaps that's why he almost feels he deserves it when his own fledgling military career is shattered by false accusations of child abuse.

Llewellyn finally finds happiness when he marries Tabby, but, at the same time, he must face his own dark side--a side that reveals itself in an unwholesome infatuation with Tabby's pretty 15-year-old cousin, Roxy.

When he learns that televangelist  Jimmy Cochran, is involved in the international sex trade, Llewellyn tries to intervene, but in so doing, he loses all he holds dear. Pushed to his breaking point, he is on the verge of doing the unthinkable.

Llewellyn is desperately in need of someone to help him overcome his own dark side and his alcohol-fueled desire for revenge.

But the only person who can give that help is a man who has good reason to hate Llewellyn.
