Time is running outOr is it already too late? "Heartbreakingly raw" "A beautiful tragedy" Past Redemption is a prequel to Beyond Redemption. So many of you asked for a more in-depth account of Joker’s early life, so I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it. I will warn you,this read is not a sweet romance or for the weak of heart. There are triggers of abuse and violence, but there is a definite HFN, plus two complete chapters of Beyond Redemption as a bonus.
