Dark Journey - Paperback

by Bruce Hammer (Author), Kathy Hammer (Author)

A Dark Journey is a poignant autobiography account of a man and woman who come from different lifestyles, mind-sets, and paths. The story details the true account of Bruce's struggle with addiction and the painful consequences he suffered and Kathy's unconditional love that gave her the strength to persevere and not give up. Bruce's journey started in Detroit, Michigan, in 1954, where he encountered a painful life of criminal activity that led the way to the harsh reality of what it was like living inside the incarceration system. He fought battles to stay alive. The story goes on to tell how Bruce and Kathy met at a medical clinic and the love Bruce had for Kathy that persuaded him to pursue her despite all odds. Kathy came from a small town and had always waited on her soul mate to find her. She never would have believed it would have been a man so different from her. Kathy never knew of Bruce's addiction because he withheld it from her. She believed everything Bruce told her about his past. She took it as face value because she loved him. Bruce and Kathy got married, and the battle of crack cocaine took a toll on their marriage and put Kathy into situations that the average person would not have been able to overcome. However, Kathy believed that Almighty God would protect her from Bruce's ongoing substance abuse encounters. Bruce faced many battles at home and did unspeakable things in his home and abroad to pursue the drugs he craved. Many people wonder what is true love and what does it really mean to love someone unconditionally the way God loves them. A Dark Journey gives a detail account of true love. It is a story that even when it is read, it will never be forgotten. Almighty God promised Bruce and Kathy that they would come into the light out of their own dark journey, and the prophecy had become a reality.
