Overview: WARNING1: CONTAINS DISTURBING ACCOUNTS OF BRUTAL CHILD ABUSE, HORRIFIC BEATINGS, EMOTIONAL BATTERING, NEGLECT, STARVATION AND CRUELTY.Warning2: If you want a happy ending, you'll have to read the other sequential memoirs in the Toxic Thoughts series. These are true stories about the adversities that stalked one woman, and the resilience it took to overcome them.. . . harrowing . . . heartbreaking . . . bittersweet . . . inspiring . . . about one girl's fortitude and perseverance.—Kirkus ReviewsBattered is a true crime story memoir (not a full biography) about a brave girl, a cowardly father, and an evil stepmother.After eight years of torture, I survive and escape the monster. Monsters do not lie under your bed. Monsters do not live in closets. They go to church. They go to school. Some teach in schools. Some are mothers, fathers, sons and daughters. My monster, a married mother who once lived two doors down, catapulted our family from normal, to the most dysfunctional family ever imaginable, in one year flat. The monster showed no mercyThe government claims greed, jealousy and control are three big factors, why women sadistically abuse children. According to recent NCANDS data, the majority of the perpetrators, half a century later, are women.How could my father, not mutually engaged in the systematic sadistic torture, allow it to happen on a regular basis? That answer is simple. Somewhere back in time, my father lost his spine.At age thirteen, after a failed escape, I was on lockdown. By the end of the school year, I was sleeping in a graveyard. My Missing Sibling - Chapter 8 (Partial Excerpt1)It's a bleak, icy cold day with a furious wind. Nasty flurries swirl in circles and splatter across the five-foot-high snow drifts until they cover half of the upstairs windows. The lower two and three foot drifts are further away from the house, but that's where the sleet hits the hardest. There's nowhere safe to hide.My feet feel like two dead heavy rocks and I've lost all feeling in them and my hands. Exhausted, I fall face first into the snow waiting to smother to death. My jacket rises up into the air. I'm upright. Adam yells, "Keep moving.""I can't," I gasp. "I can't move my hands or my toes."Adam carries me behind a tree, sits down, and settles me onto his lap. He bangs my frozen mitts against each other and says, "You clap and I'll sing.""I can't feel my hands Adam . . . "Bald Ugly Me - Chapter12 (Partial Excerpt2)"STOP—crack—"LYING"—crack—"TO"—crack—"ME!" She slashes me repeatedly. The belt buckle hits my face. The blow to my eye sends sharp excruciating pains lodging deep inside my socket. It feels like shards of glass are embedded in my eyelid. She continues to beat me until I crunch up in a ball—in a bed of warm piss. My brain goes dead. It knows there's no right answer.Bald Ugly Me - Chapter12 (Partial Excerpt2)Cold steel vibrates against my left temple. I keep my eyes on the chair leg and grit my teeth. I know better than to move an inch. Clumps of hair fall to the floor. The blades rip across my right temple, twice, before she snarls, "Now try hiding your ugly face behind that hairy mop."Hair is up my nose, in my eyes and sticking to my tongue, but I don't dare move an inch. She places a bowl on my head and snips high above my right eyebrow."Tada! I'm home!"The bowl clatters to the floor. Irma pushes me . . .Summary: "When Ned Rose, widowed father of six children, falls in love with the neighbor's wife, she moves into the Rose residence, destroys the family and tortures Ned's youngest daughter for eight years, until Juanita aged fourteen, finds the courage to run away and a court hearing follows, where she is made a ward of the court (crown ward) and her father is stripped of all parental rights." - - Provided by publisher.

I find myself somewhat conflicted. The prose was competent, yet the characters lacked the depth I usually seek. Unlikely to reread, but a reasonable expenditure of time.

A decent, if standard, experience. The tempo was somewhat languid, and I found my mind wandering. Not poor, simply average. Suitable if your reading queue is empty.
