For over a decade, Harold Phifer served in a war-zone as a contract air-controller in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay. He even survived a suicide bombing by the Taliban. He tells a moving story in his newest book, My Bully, My aunt, and Her Final Gift. It comes on the heels of publishing his earlier book, Surviving Chaos: How I Found Peace At A Beach Bar, which exposed a lot of people that affected the life of the author. Besides his problematic mother, Aunt Kelly left a lasting imprint.

“She was the opposite of all things positive,” says Phifer. “At the end of her twisted life it was painfully obvious to me that she deserved a book of her very own. The death of my evil aunt allowed me to see myself while operating a door for my brothers and me.”

Most of the contents in this story are recreated from real-life experiences of a lost and misguided kid. Some things have been changed for the sake of a better read.
