“…amazing tale of personal transformation from a life of domestic abuse and child abuse”
This is an amazing tale of personal transformation and success from living in paradise with an amazing supportive father to living in hell, fending for his life everyday. Tom has been a close friend of mine for many years and I have been blessed to witness his writing process and personal progression through the telling of his tale. Anyone who has anything negative regarding him and his story is CLEARLY missing the point of this story. He is bringing light to a very dark issue that too often gets swept under the rug. No more!!! The domestic abuse rates in this country are astronomical and will continue to rise if cherished “classic American Family Stories” like this are perpetuated in lies as they have been for too long. Its time to stop glorifying lies and let the truth be told! This story is truly inspiring and brings hope to those that have none. It puts life’s trials into perspective for the reader, letting them know there is hope, and things will get better. However, we must make the decision to make them better for ourselves and others! No one can do it for us! I applaud Tom and his courage for telling his story and showing it to the world when he knows it will anger those that wish to keep the illusion alive and perpetuate the lies. While some many not relate to certain sections or think they are too long, they need to realize that he put those sections in there for a reason and left them in there for a reason. And while those reasons may not be apparent to you, they might be for someone else. So please people, when reading this story, keep in mind the intentions with which it was written: Compassion, hope, love, truth and light. Bravo Tom!!! The world needs more brave authors such as yourself!
