It sounds like he is living the American dream; however, a phone call from one of his younger brothers triggers Wayne to seek answers from his past.Wayne, his brothers, and his sisters were abused throughout their childhood. His past continued to haunt him throughout his life.
This is a novel of terrible times and times of hope. He needed to find out the truth, not just for himself, but for his family, as well.
Wayne was one of twelve children. Wayne digs back into these painful memories and the information he finds shocks and surprises him.He has to confront his parents, and does so on a national talk show.This is a true story of a brave man whose spirit could not be broken.
While sometimes painful to read, the message of WAYNE comes through loud and clear to the reader that strength can prevail.Reviewed by: hoopsielv He is now married with four daughters and is a successful contractor in New Hampshire.
There were hospital visits and questions from teachers and social workers, but the abuse continued.
What a suvivor. His son mentioned him having money in his pockets.But he chose not to be a good provider. There are so many adults suffering today because of childhood abuse.People don't even know about most of the cases. And do you know what, the abusers are crazy enough to wonder why those that they have abused have problems in life.
Can you just imagine how many sick people are taking advantage of children. What would make a person want to inflict pain on his own children. I hope Wayne's brothers and sisters come to realize how wonderful Wayne is. There are a lot of sick parents in this world. I hope they have grown closer and supportive of each other. Wayne Theodore I appreciate this book.
What and why. Their children are sometimes the product of their wickness. Some parents and family have truely been mean to chidren and ruined lives. Carl Theodore could have given his family a better life.
This book is a good read, i could not put it down. I think the way he rises above everything to be the person he is today, is a lesson to us all. I read the whole book all in one sitting. It takes a lot of courage to face your fear, and in this book Wayne faces and confronts his hideous past. Bringing to light his repressed memories of his upbringing.
i just read this book it was really good, i could'nt put it down,it told really good stories about what he had went throgh as a child.
Thank you, Wayne. I enjoyed this book tremendously. It's important for adult survivors of child abuse to get our message out.
