Cycle of Torment David Risen

Dr. Paul Ambrose is a retired clinical psychologist who lives in Clarkesville, Georgia. He resides in an antebellum plantation house out in the woods that he simply calls "The Old Rock House." Paul has a long, hidden history in this home - a past that has gone undiscovered and undisclosed for over a century. He resolved to stay out of his profession and secret himself away. That's when Amanda Green, a former client also a published biographer and author of historical fiction, knocks on his door. She's come to ask him how it is that she has known him for almost two decades, and he still looks to be about 55 years old - why all of the owners of his home over the past hundred years have all looked exactly like him. Paul surprises himself when opens up to her. The story is not at all what she expected. As she sits across from him taking notes and recording his voice, he lays out his secret history. He walks her through a tale that extends through three centuries of history, and a two-hundred year old murder that locked three spirits in hell. He explains how he took it upon himself to free these spirits from very different cycles of torment.
