Worth the Read

This was a very good book and it makes you wonder how a husband and father can be so evil, the epitomy of Satan himself almost. The author is a very brave woman and the book is well worth reading. I think I would have gone insane with the abuse she and her siblings suffered. It's a real eye opener too.

A Must Read Book...

After I picked this book up and started reading it I couldnt put it down. The author is so vivid in her writing that it keeps you pinned to your seat. While reading the book its as though you can feel the fear that these children lived with on a day to day basis. This book sums up just how cruel some child abuse cases can really be.

Twisted Roots of Evil

This book was an eye opening experience for me. Many of us tend to run from our past and refusing to deal with it. When i read the book it made me realize that i am not the only one as a child that has suffered at the hands of a trusted adult and will continue to tell others i know about TWISTED ROOTS OF EVIL, A real page turner, when i read it i had to keep a box tissue near me. Until more people open there eyes and realize this is happening and speak up and stop the abuse then it will continue.

Vivid, candid, shocking -- a clarion call to action!

An abuse and incest victim as a child, Susan Kesegich struggledto understand how it could happen to herself and her sisters. Borninto a poor, rural family that often went without food, electricity and plumbing, Kesegich and her four siblings suffered extreme neglect, sexual, mental, and physical abuse with intervention by responsible adults, school, church or community agencies. Kesegich was eventually able to understand her childhood traumas and work to help other women and children through volunteer efforts at a local child abuse center and become trained as a special court appointed advocate for children. Twisted Roots Of Evil is vivid, candid, shocking, and a highly recommended testament to conditions that still persist in all too many areas of the country.
