The boiling pot of emotions that finally erupts in young Jesus has been cooking for years on the flames of religious fanaticism, poverty and race hatred. Transformed into the perfect victim by his grandmother, a religious fanatic, and the teachings of his parish priest, Jesus is progressively abused and brutalized. At eighteen, he marks his coming of age with the savage rape of a prostitute, the only person who loved him, and with an attack that maims the parish priest he both hated and feared. Jesus graduates from the supposedly nurturing institutions of family, church and school into the labyrinth of horrors that is the correctional system.Ruiz, Ronald L. is the author of 'Happy Birthday Jesus' with ISBN 9781558851085 and ISBN 1558851089.
