About this eBook
The reader will be drawn irresistably into the world of the author who presents a catalogue of abuse and cruelty suffered by herself as an innocent child, first at the hands of her alcoholic father, then by nuns, and later by a heartless husband who raped and beat her. This is compulsive reading. The book shows how the shadow of a father's cruelty can be cast over the whole life of a child--a child who, in this instance, never failed to turn the other cheek, or return love for cruelty and abuse, who manifested, in the end, the overriding power and strength of Christ who advocated love above all things. The book is a protest against domestic violence and institutionalised cruelty, and will hopefully stand as a beacon and warning against the violations suffered by so many Emelias whose heartfelt cries go unheard behind the closed or locked doors of our apparently respectable western civilization.

Many spelling errors made it confusing and how a 11 month old can protect his mom by kicking an abuser made no sense at all seemed false but a great story none the less loved it!

When I was a young girl, Emelin’s Dad was my Dad's best friend. Emelin’s Dad was already devoiced or separated from his wife. I feel so bad for Emelin’s family. Her Dad was so nice to me that I was shocked when I read the book. I total believe Emelin. I remember a lot of events that Emelin had in her book. I am glad she published this book and it was an eye opener for me. This book should be made into a movie to reach a broader audience.
