Synopsis
Pull back the proverbial curtain on narcissistic abuse to reveal the lingual slights of hand, creepy mind games and seductive manipulations of the true monster behind the knight's shiny armor. The Giving Stump is a beautiful and seductive romantic story of love, loss, and utter devastation. It is a tale of deception, deflection, denial and intrigue. It heralds a once beautiful and thriving heroine, her kind heart, her pathological fawning, unwarranted forgiveness, and neurotic self debasement-all masquerading under the guise of True Love. With an adorable monster and his clandestine demons to tantalize, frustrate and infuriate her, The Giving Stump will keep you on the edge of fury, waiting for the hammer to at long last, drop. Thankfully, there's a happy ending. Well, for one guy, anyway. The Giving Stump showcases such subtly manipulative dialogue between Boy and his beloved tree stump.

Line by eerie line, the hidden beast within Boy is revealed, telling the ugliest love story never told.While the world is swimming in narcissism, and swarms of information herein, practical understanding and utilization of it has been almost impossible... until now.

The Giving Stump is written in response to Shel Silverstein's beloved classic, The Giving Tree.

The Boy takes all of it from her, without ever thanking her. Tree is eventually reduced to a stump. He sits on her. The end. This is where The Giving Stump begins.
