Jack the Lion

An Angel Hill Short

By: C. Dennis Moore

Narrated by: Curt Campbell

Angel Hill is home to The Lonely Man, the Ash Wednesday killer, and who knows what’s going on at the Mertland Childrens’ Home. But for 12-year-old Frank, the only evil he fears is his mother’s new husband Terry.

The source of all the ridicule and shame Frank faces on a daily basis, the swats to the head, the laughter when Franks falls and needs stitches, Terry is the source of it all.

Frank’s only confidant is a stuffed animal named Jack. But like Jack always says, “What do you need friends for, you’ve got the best one ever right here.”

Jack the Lion is a solitary story for the lonely. It's the story of one boy’s abusive childhood at the hands of one who’s job it was to protect him - and the story of the one who finally did.
