Then, he hollered for me. I panicked, was he going to kill me? I watched as he grabbed the shotgun from the closet and walked out to the car. I followed close behind him, trembling with fear. Rodney Timms didn't have an idyllic childhood. He spent most of his young years living in constant fear of his alcoholic and abusive father. Some nights he'd go to sleep wondering if tomorrow would be his last day on earth. In the small town of Frederick, Oklahoma Rodney learned to lay low and avoid conflict. That is, until he could take no more of his father's constant verbal and physical abuse. As an adolescent, Rodney turned to violence and anger to quell the rage he had for his father. He'd soon find, however, that it was a path he'd rather not take. In My Three Angels, Timms tells the story of how a young man's destiny was changed by the hands of three different but equally important individuals. Had it not been for these three people, Timms writes, he may not be alive today.
