The Sacred Book That Turned Them All Against Me

Summary

My mother gave birth to four children. I have three older sisters; I was the youngest, her only son. Everyone in the family treated me like a treasure, except for Mom. She doted on my sisters, but for me, I was treated like an enemy from childhood, singled out, even beaten with a riding crop.

I questioned my lineage, secretly taking a lock of Mom's hair for a paternity test. The results, however, clearly stated that I was her biological son.

Mom was deeply religious, always carrying a spiritual book with her.
