Annihilator of Innocence is based on the true story of Tahiera Monique Brown
District Attorney J. Tom Morgan respresents and defends abused children in DeKalb County, Georgia.
He's never seen a case like this.
"Barbara Clark, you're in Grady," the nurse says. The patient hears but cannot respond. From the darkest depths she struggles to speak, desperate to be heard. A little light appears to be at the end of the long tunnel. In unspoken words - which sound unfamiliar even in her mind - she wonders: Who is Barbara Clark, and what is the place called Grady?
This is how Barbara Clark's courageous and agonizing journey of remembering - and healing - began.

About the author
Tahiera Monique Brown is the President and CEO of Darkness To Light Films, a Birmingham based Film and Television Production Company. Ms. Brown is also author, and a professional speaker. Her book, Annihilator of Innocence, chronicles a horrific ordeal where Brown, along with her children, was held hostage for two years by a man who, unbeknownst to her, had been stalking her for some time. The choice she made to save her children's lives put her in a coma. When she recovered, she had amnesia, which she still suffers to this day.
By Rebecca Lindsey:
"There are many profound works illustrating in detail the depths of what abuse does and how it affects generations. Tahiera's book "Annihilator of Innocence" takes you on a life journey into another human being's world; a place where true strength and courage was found for one woman. Tahiera's book is about her life not as a victim, but as a survivor. It is very easy to remain in a 'victim role' perpetuating the cycle of abuse. Tahiera chose to not only stand up for herself and her family but also inspire and help others as well - what a gift she has given us. You can "give a man fish to eat but if you teach him how to fish, you teach generations". By hearing Tahiera's story it will help to show others of what is really happening and hopefully may inspire others to see that it is not their fault and especially that they are not alone - people that you may not even know really want to care about you and help you."
