A Compelling Memoir

Bryan Lee McGlothin compelling memoir Have you seen my mother? is the heart-breaking story of one man's quest for love, truth and acceptance. The contrast between the behaviour of both of his parents is most telling. The father professes to be Christian but kidnaps young Bryan from the loving arms of his mother, slandering her in the eyes of the world but more important, in the heart and mind of her love-starved and vulnerable son. The mother, heartsick and desperate in her unsuccessful search for Bryan, flounders mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. While the father "progresses" in his faith and in life, the mother spirals toward tragic circumstances. Bryan's father's narcissistic selfishness and cruelty are all too familiar to this writer, but the roots of such evil are complex, never easily explained. McGlothin does a commendable job setting forth his story in his quest for truth. What he discovers will break your heart. It might also educate and humble you.

A real Eye Openner!!

I could not put this book down! Jehovah Witnesses and non-Jehovah Witnessed could benefit from Bryan's heart breaking experience. We all take life, and being a parent for that matter, for granted sometimes. This book truely opens one's eyes to how easily we are manipulated by our social environment and how it molds us to the core...touching every cell of our being. The lies and deception that Bryan experienced by being kidnapped from his own mother are devastating! The end results are heart-wrenching....

Very powerful true story !

Very well written. It shows how a life and family can be torn apart by a high control group. More of these types of books should be written, to show the world that this happens not just occassionally, but happens frequently. The world needs to know. I could not put it down.

Sad, but powerful story

As a former Jehovah's Witness, I could relate to the lies and deception that Bryan experienced. However, anyone who reads this book will feel the pain of being lied to in order to manipulate anothers life. Bryan takes you on his journey of discovery as he searches for his mother. In his journey, he is met with obstacles from those who claimed to love him only to cover up the ugly truths of the past.

Have You Seen My Mother

A MUST READ!!!I couldn't put the book down!! It is a real page-turner and an extremely gut-wrenching story. It really brings to light the horrible things done under the cover and protection--and in the name of -- a "christian" religion. The story reveals a hideous, unprosocuted crime for which the author and his mother paid deeply and continue to pay in the form of emotional scars. What a sad story - but one that needs to be told.
