Out of the Darkness: The Story of Mary Ellen Wilson

Rating:
Summary: Look around. Read this book then look around you again.
Review: Out of the Darkness was a very intense novel. I had heard a little bit about Mary Ellen a few months ago but I really didn't have the time or effort to find out more. When I read this book, I cried. And I cheered out loud. I have been telling eveyone I know about this book, but not just because its a good real. I also feel that everyone needs to read this book for a lesson in humanity. Everyone has a safe place they go to when they hurt, or need love, and that place is usually your home and family. But what happens when the pain is caused by someone who should love you. Not only is it a well told biography, it also makes you re-evaluate how you view the world around you. I met Eric A. Shelman at a book signing, and met a person I would like to be friends with.

Summary: A very powerful book - so consuming I couldn't put it down!
Review: Shelman's portrayal of the young life of Mary Ellen Wilson is astounding. The author takes a very difficult subject, child abuse, and integrates it with the history of animal rights laws, leaving the reader totally engrossed in the story! Definitely a "must-read" book for all appetites!

Review: This book is a "must read" for everyone who has anything to do with children. It is a reminder of what happened then and what still happens today. It should be required reading for every student going into social work. It would also make a great movie!

Summary: Read it in one day. I honestly couldn't put it down!
Review: This book touches on a very real problem that we still have in today's society. It was very difficult to read how abused this child was, but it needed to be told and and hopefully never forgotten. Please let your teenagers read this. Let's stop the cycle.
