Red Bird Phoenix
Justice is Hand-Held Faith
Aaron and Betty Russell are Pure Evil
with one goal in mind — to control, specifically their daughter KITTY. They break her spirit. They own her. Carnage is their game. Starvation and torture are their tools. Kitty is a marketable sex product. And blood flows in the Russell household.
​
After witnessing the murders committed by her parents, escape is a dream. She is conflicted by hate of the abusers, but bound by a God-love thread stronger than any green rope for her siblings. There is water in Kitty’s eyes and a wooden switch laid on her back as she is forced to do backbreaking labor.
​
Kitty, with the fire of God in her bones, determines not to give in. Faith is her armor and her sister, Ruth, is her heart. Her survival mission is to expose her parent and find justice. She represents the everywhere child with nowhere to run. She is a daughter, a sister and a caretaker. Seeking freedom, her unshakeable faith manifests as a Red Bird giving direction, hope and guidance.
BIO
I would like to introduce you to my life story. I am Cae Cordell, a retired minister and college instructor, a survivor of incest and marital sexual violence. Violence to one's physical being can be healed, but violence to the soul brings about spiritual murder. It is permanent.
Red Bird Phoenix is a meandering collection of childhood memories woven into a very troubling autobiography. My soul was confronted daily with unrelenting physical and sexual abuse, torture and starvation and there was no escape.
