Download or read book Groomed written by Laurie Matthew and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-06-07 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this powerful and honest memoir, Laurie Matthew takes the reader with her as she revisits her childhood in 1950s and 1960s Dundee. Raised in a home which consisted of an emotionally neglectful and physically violent mother, a distant father, a chronically sick brother and a sister she needed to protect, the only ray of light in little Laurie's life came from the man who would return home from the Army with pockets full of sweets and bags of toys. Uncle Andrew would shower her with attention and love, capture the hearts of everyone around him - and carefully groom her for years of abuse by not only himself, but also by a network of paedophiles. Laurie tells a harrowing story of isolation, as her abusers went to extraordinary lengths to carry out their sick acts, wearing masks to confuse and torment her and keeping her away from other children. But these evil men had no idea that the girl they systematically violated would turn into one of the country's leading child protection experts, and that their legacy would give her the impetus to change the lives of so many innocent victims.

Download or read book The Deadly Groom written by Joe Fenley and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-06-25 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Deadly Groom is the compelling true crime saga of the slaying of Marcia Good, a vivacious 40-year-old widowed mother of three, by her second husband, Richard Bennett, who viewed her modest estate as a cash cow. At first, Bennett was able to convince authorities and even Marcia's relatives that her drowning death was a tragic fishing accident in a fall from a partially built bridge over the Arkansas River on a cold, windy, rainy night. It would be another 17 years before her case was closed officially when Bennett died in prison while serving a life sentence for first degree murder. He might have gotten away completely without the efforts of Marcia's brother-in-law, Dr. Lowell Good, who hired his own investigators, and her nephew, David Zoll, who successfully fought a civil wrongful death suit against Bennett. It also took the tenacious work of Arkansas State Police Investigator Doug Stephens, who worked with Dr. Good and Zoll, and compiled the evidence that finally resulted in successful criminal prosecution. Even at that, it took three murder convictions before Bennett went to prison because the Arkansas Supreme Court reversed the first two jury verdicts.

Book excerpt: ***ATTENTION FATHERS OF THE GROOM*** If you’ve been asked to be the Father Of the Groom in a wedding, then this is the book for you! When you buy this book, you’ll get the following: All of the duties required of the matron How to prepare for your speech A step-by-step guide to write your speech What to expect before, during, and after the speech The biggest mistake most matrons make… PLUS templated speeches for introverts and extroverts (with time estimates) And much, MUCH more Below is a short excerpt: It goes without saying that the Father Of the Groom has one of the most difficult jobs in the entire wedding party. Aside from the officiant, and perhaps the best man, the Father Of the Groom duties are by far the most numerous and diverse. From holding rings and coordinating with catering personnel, to handling last minute “fires”, and mingling with guests, the title of Father Of the Groom carries with it a long list of responsibilities. Chief among them is your Father Of the Groom speech. For anyone who’s attended weddings before, you’ve probably seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. Some speakers give great speeches that energize the crowd and leave a memory that will last a lifetime. While others fumble through notes and put the audience to sleep. Worst of all is when a speaker fails so epically, that they leave people feeling awkward or uncomfortable. Intentional or not, this can have a long-lasting effect that can ruin the day. Whether it’s malfunctioning microphones, lost note cards, or lack of preparation, there are a million things that can go wrong during a Father Of the Groom speech. The purpose of this book is to help you navigate through the common pitfalls most matrons make and prepare you to give a KILLER Father Of the Groom speech. In this book, I’ll teach you how to prepare, brainstorm, outline, rehearse, and execute your speech. We’ll discuss all of the duties of a Father Of the Groom so you're completely prepared for the day of the wedding. This will include coordinating with the bride and groom, dress and appearance, interacting with friends and family, recording the speech, alcohol consumption and so much more. Additionally, you’ll learn the most common issues that happen during a matron speech and how to overcome them. Moreover, I provide an example speech at the end of the book, that can be tweaked for your particular needs. Ultimately, this book will provide maids/matrons of honor with the tools, tips, tricks--and most importantly the confidence--they’ll need to give a killer speech. By the end of the event, you’ll walk out feeling like a hero and knowing you gave it 110%. I’m sure you’re going to love this book. But don’t take my word for it. Scroll up and BUY YOUR COPY TODAY!

Download or read book No Matter Our Wreckage written by Gemma Carey and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My mother knew I was abused as a child. She had read letters sent from my abuser to me...But she never spoke to me about them, or what they described. And she never intervened to stop the abuse...Now she is dying and the past is rising to the surface like a bruise. When Gemma Carey was twelve years old, a man twice her age would sneak into her bedroom on a weekly basis and sexually assault her. When Gemma was seventeen, she took the perpetrator to court without anyone else knowing and had him placed on the child sex offenders register. When she was thirty-three, her mother died of cancer. For twenty years, her mother had known about this man. But why had she not acted to protect her daughter? Could the genesis of this betrayal be found in her own family history? No Matter Our Wreckage is the story of past and present colliding. It seeks to capture the complexity of forces which lead to abuse; to understand the intertwined narratives of mothers and daughters and how trauma becomes encoded in our DNA through generations. It explores grooming and the intricacies of consent, and how as a society we have not yet figured out how to deal with these types of crimes or the people who commit them. No Matter Our Wreckage is a powerful, poetic and unflinching memoir about what it means not to matter, and how an extraordinary woman refused to listen to the stories she was being told about herself - by her history, by her abuser, by her mother, by society. It is only by speaking out that Gemma Carey learns she can break free from her past and reclaim her life, her self and her future. 'No Matter Our Wreckage is a brutal reminder of our responsibility to notice and protect those we love. A devastating and clear-eyed memoir with a poet's voice. Gemma Carey will boil your blood and break your heart.' - Anna Spargo-Ryan, author of The Gulf
