2 comments about Jenny's Monster: A True Story of Grace.

1. Jenny's Monster is not an overstatement. Her Monster is real. This book is terrifyingly in-your-face. If you are like me, you will first hate her Monster, next you will hate Jenny, finally you will cry like a baby at this tragic true story.



2. This is the author's first book and is it ever a powerful book! Instead of telling her story in third person through a fictional character, she chose to tell her story in first person and reveals personal things that most people would keep to themselves. That took a lot of guts!
   
   
   Ms. Moran tells her own story of growing up with a physically and verbally abusive mother who is totally consumed by alcoholism. She describes her own descent in despair, self-loathing, drugs and alcohol...all by her early teens. Her parents divorced when she was a toddler; her oldest brother was the only worthy child of the three; she never knew what it meant to be loved as a person.
   
   Through AA, Ms. Moran was able to gain sobriety, learn to forgive her mother and find peace and love in her life. Her struggle to get to this point is incredible. If you are in an abusive relationship or know of someone who is, this is the book for them! They'll know they're not alone, that alcoholism really is a disease, and find sources of help...healing is possible!
   
   Ms. Moran lives in New Jersey with her husband and two children and proudly wears the title "Jersey Girl". She has a BS in Psychology from Montclair State College, is a successful sales executive, and enjoys running, and is passionate about the arts.

1. Being a Kansas native, it was fascinating to read about the hardships and lives that our ancestors experienced. Mr. Yocom does an outstanding job of weaving some of the Kansas history with a true story about his grandmother. He clearly did some excellent research and captured the realities of life in that era.

1 comments about Aruna's Story; The True Account of a Rape and Its Aftermath.

1. Aruna's Story is more, much more than a mere story. It's a phenomena and author Pinki Virani deserves all credit for her investigation and her style of writing. You know about it, still you keep shut, you understand their plight still you keep shut, but you can never feel it, feel the pain and agony of someone who'd been raped. Aruna, the KEM Medical College nurse on whom the true accouts are based could even feel it... only her body was alive and her brain was dead. Virani explores and righfully dicovers how bitter truth can be and that it indeed is a very rare case where justice is done right... in this case justice itself was shamed. Aruna;s story is an eye-opener for people who wish to know about the callousness of the Indian Medical force and also serves as a very nice guide for writers who wish to go in for investigative work. Aruna's Story is REAL!
