Author Fest of the Rockies, a fundraiser for the Manitou Springs Library Presenting local authors, Cliff House Manitou, Oct 18th – 20th Frederick L. Morris will read and sign copies of his book “I’ve Always Known” from 10-10:45 am, Oct 20th, 2007. All are welcome, the event is free to the public. Book review by Jean Wahborg, Dorrance Publishing: "I've Always Known, written by Frederick Morris Von Thrauthemburg, chronicles the author's horrific experiences at the hands of his sadistic and disturbed father. Born to a career Naval Office and a weak socialite mother, the author was subjected to a litany of brutal physical beatings and torrents of verbal abuse from a very young age. Under the guise of making his son a man, the author's father routinely violently punched, slapped, and whipped his badly overmatched son while apparently taking great pleasure in the process. Complicating matters, the author began to realize his sexual orientation as homosexual caused further angst and confusion. Realizing such a revelation to his father could ultimately result in his demise, the author had reason to fear for his life. While many under such dire circumstances would crumble under the unrelenting enormous stress and pressure, the author eventually found true and rewarding love in a man he regards as his soul mate. Composed in a conversational narrative and compelling dialogue, the text flows at a brisk tempo that should maintain the reader's interest throughout. Although highly graphic at times, the work effectively conveys the atrocious treatment the author endured in a non-gratuitous manner. Heart wrenching and inspiring".
