Misplaced Anger

In a small Midwest town, the Parker family was living the idyllic life.
Laura Parker and her family just wanted to live the American dream. That wouldn't be the case though. They had been hit with not one, not two but three tragedies. All involved James Martin in one way or another. These two families were intertwined in many different aspects but not all were pleasant. James verbally abused Laura for many years. It only go worse once he was forced to reveal a secret he had been keeping.
The ugliness just snowballed after this. It ended in the worst abuse yet. Laura's pain took on many forms. All the Parkers were tough though. It takes them years to regain some semblance of normalcy. Funerals, assaults and trials is all they seem to experience. They proved faith and family could get them through the worst and end well.
There may be a light at the end of the tunnel. After all is said and done, Laura was the winner. James and friends were the losers.
