Take Revenge or Die

The epic story about a young mother, Marilyn Ledbedder, and her illegitimate son, Leon, who through unfortunate events were forced to leave their home in rural Arkansas. Taken in by a middle aged man and his wife in Louisiana, they settle in for seemed like a happy normal existence. Soon, many tragic events take place in Leon's world, which takes away the serene life that he enjoyed. Witnessing a brutal attack on his mother, Leon plots revenge, not on just one perpetrator but also on another. Does he seek revenge or allow the justice system to run it's course? Much of this story is told by Leon to his psychiatrist, thirty years after the fact, in hopes of regaining his sanity and freedom.
