Awesome book-author Carol Donahue passed away last week of cancer. She was wonderful friend of mine

I met the author, Carol Donahue through a friend of mine. She and my friend eventually got married. Carol had told me about her childhood and her teenage years in great detail. I can remember her walking out with the book "Deadly Relations" and giving it to me. She gave me the book to read and I read it in two days. I couldn't put it down. I guess it hit me harder since I KNEW the person the book was about. It made me better understand why she was the way she was. Her father tortured his wife and children and their spouses. She then gave me a copy of the movie that was played on television. I have watched it over and over. Unfortunatley, I loaned my book to someone and never got it back. That book meant alot to me because Carol had written something very special to me in it and signed it for me. I will never see that book again. Carol passed away on January 3, 2009 of cancer. I was devastated to learn of her death. She was a great inspiration to me and a great friend. She finally married the love of her life and they had 15 good years together. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister,daughter and friend. R.I.P. Carol Donahue Theriot. You will be missed.

Wonderful book, bad dad

I have seen the movie based on this book many times, and I loved it. Once I found out there was a book, I jumped on eBay and bought a copy. I am so glad I did! This is a great book, and I'll admit, it was a little difficult to NOT picture Robert Urich as the dad, or Gwyneth Paltrow as Carol. My attention was held the whole time I was reading it, and I really didn't want to put it down. I highly recommend to anyone who can find a copy to buy it, it really is that good!!!

Great true crime

Very interesting story that I don't remember hearing about when it happened. Very well written, by two non-professional writers. My heart went out to this family. It must be terrible to love someone and see his life unravel right before your eyes. Especially when the consequences of the unraveling are violent and deadly. This man tore his loving family apart. This was a story of drug addiction that lead to mental illness, or maybe the mental illness was fueled by his drug addiction. It was very sad.

GREAT TRUE CRIME BOOK!

This is the book that was made into a movie starring Robert Uhrich and Gwyneth Paltrow! The book is even better! ENJOY!
