"Looking back, I realize just how much I feared Dickie Hellerman on
the morning I shot and killed him out in the backwoods of my
parents' property."
From that jarring opening line, "Defending My Life: Surviving a
Bully's Torture" is the compelling journey of an innocent young man
who faces repeated encounters with a bully. Based on true events,
the story is told by Justin Bailey who recounts the traumatic
occurrences that ultimately drove him to the horrific killing and
its consequences.
Justin is a seemingly carefree junior in high school where he is
in the drama club and on the wrestling team. His free time is spent
with friends and dreaming of pretty girls. Yet his life becomes
increasingly complex as he encounters the unpredictable and
volatile behavior of the problem-drinking bully. Along the way,
Justin meets Maria, the gorgeous girl who becomes his first love,
but trouble escalates when Justin's antagonist is attracted to her
as well.
"Defending My Life: Surviving a Bully's Torture" is an honest
account of a maturing 17-year-old facing life, love, overwhelming
fears and extreme guilt. He yearns for a "normal" existence
following the incident but discovers that such a wish will only be
achieved through tremendous mental struggles.
