Autobiography Reveals How Perseverance and
Self Study Helped Author Live Life to the Fullest…Even When He
Thought He Couldn’t Survive Another Day
In Love and Poison,
author Frank Eckblom details the horrors of his childhood and
how he became a stronger person because of life’s trials and
tribulations.
“Strength does not come
from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.”
—Mahatma Gandhi
It was a start to life
so profoundly harrowing that it is almost inconceivable. When he
was a baby only three months old, Frank Eckblom’s mother tried
to kill him, an act that would have her confined to a mental
hospital for the rest of her life. As a child, he was subject to
abuse at the hands of his stepmother, who punished bad behavior
by beatings with a slat from the backyard fence.
It was a trauma that no
child should ever have to endure, a trauma that led to a
condition of severe anxiety and panic attacks that would plague
Frank throughout his life.
Sustained by the
extraordinary love of three aunts, Frank not only persevered,
but went on to develop a strong desire to live life to its
fullest. It would take self-study, development of his talents,
numerous adventures, and the endless support of his wife, but
the result was the happiest and most rewarding life possible.
Love and Cold Poison
is an inspiring account of a truly remarkable journey through
life; it tears at the heart, it inspires the mind, it moves the
spirit.
