Description Parental Damage by Jack Marriot
Parental Damage is based on a true story, the story of Jack Marriott a young boy, a boxer who thought he had the world at his feet. That was until the introduction of a new family member. Marie was a bitch, the stepmother from hell and as she worked her feet under the table she made it her mission to make her stepson’s life a misery. It wasn’t long before Jack found himself in trouble with the law and distanced from the father he adored.
When Jack’s father falls ill and dies, Marie’s cruelty knows no bounds and when her stepson fights back she finds herself on the receiving end of a terrible retribution. Sent to borstal and still trying to come to terms with the loss of his father, Jack learns how to survive the bullies, the screws and the demons that haunted him in his darkest hours.
This is a story of hope, a story of triumph, it does not glorify violence or use it to gratify the hunger of its readers, it simply tells it how it was. It tells of courage, of sadness and lost opportunities, but above all it is testament that even in the bleakest times during the worst of deeds, goodness dwells within us all, how much of that survives is simply a matter of choice self-belief and integrity.
Praise Parental Damage by Jack Marriot
“A joy to read for sure, kept me wanting more. Jack is a very interesting character. From the school of hard knocks. The journey through his youth, gaining maturity. The reality of Jacks story comes through the writing. Look forward to the next book.”- Peter Scott
“Very relevant. With changing lifestyles, more and more children in marital units face the challenge of being stepchildren.”- D. Yendley
About Jack Marriot
Jack is not a survivor, he can’t be, he refuses to believe he was ever a victim. Life dealt him a hand and he played it and because of that, not in spite of that, he is all he is today! Jack has spent the last twenty-five years working as a Close Protection Officer and has operated at the highest levels. Working around the World he has protected Royalty, Politicians and Corporate Clients and been responsible for the training of hundreds of Security Operatives. How he got there? Well that’s another story..
‘As a writer I accept I tell stories in a far from typical manner? I write in a way that exposes my character, tells of things the way they were, a way that allows the reader to not only empathise with my character but to understand the way he thinks and feels. I firmly believe in a simplistic approach to story telling, tell it how it is, how it was and without apology.
‘I write always from experience, I have to know my subject matter, have lived it and survived it and I truly hope this shines through!’
