Why did you do this to me?

At the dawn of this new century, is it possible to believe that human misfortune will cease, that a world called 'civilized' will spare us from pain, distress, loneliness, and indifference?
While waiting for this possible miracle, do you know the little Jean-Pierre? Probably not. Secluded in an abyss of suffering, beaten, humiliated, rejected by his mother day after day, young Jean-Pierre struggles not to die of despair.
One day, he flees from his family. The vessel of anguish was not bottomless; it overflowed. At the age of eighteen, Jean-Pierre finds himself in Paris, with a life to build upon memories to destroy. This constructed life will hold until the day when adult Jean-Pierre realizes that the foundation is faltering.
Jean-Pierre Dupont, with words that do not hide, with silences that strike at the rhythm of the heart, opens the door to a life for us. A life that begins with a pain that few adults know. A life that continues with a social punishment that few children endure. Today, Jean-Pierre Dupont has made it across the journey, by writing, by understanding, and by building a future for the smiles of his children.
For all children.
