Product Description
Product Description
The reader will be drawn irresistably into the world of the author whopresents a catalogue of abuse and cruelty suffered by herself as an innocentchild, first at the hands of her alcoholic father, then by nuns, and laterby a heartless husband who raped and beat her. This is compulsive reading.The book shows how the shadow of a father's cruelty can be cast over thewhole life of a child--a child who, in this instance, never failed to turnthe other cheek, or return love for cruelty and abuse, who manifested, inthe end, the overriding power and strength of Christ who advocated loveabove all things. The book is a protest against domestic violence andinstitutionalised cruelty, and will hopefully stand as a beacon and warningagainst the violations suffered by so many Emelias whose heartfelt cries gounheard behind the closed or locked doors of our apparently respectablewestern civilization.

Extraordinary,
This review is from: Why Daddy, Why? (Paperback)
From the minute I started reading this, I couldn't seem to put it down. It was completely amazing! As I read, I seemed to be pulled into the life of the author. I was so moved by this story of cruelty and abuse; but even more by the fact that she always seemed to exchange hate for love even in the most difficult of times. The author sends a feeling of hope to all the other people who are going through some of the same things she went through. I was so inspired by her and her determination to not give up in the awefullest of times. I strongly suggest this book to everyone! I can promise you won't be disappointed; I wasn't!

Fantastic Book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Why Daddy, Why? (Paperback)
I never do much reading. I went to have my windshield replaced and they told me that it would take a while. My wife had this book in the car that she just bought so I picked it up and started to read it to pass the time.When I got home, my wife wanted her book but I wasn't about to let it go until I finished reading it! but it didn't take long because I couldn't put it down. "Why Daddy Why", is a book that everyone should read! it's a rude awakening to things all around you but no one really wants to look! I can't believe the things that this girl went through. You need to get this book and read it! and it's real easy to read. It say's right on the book that there are no words that you can't pronounce or understand. How true that statement is. Very powerful book!

Unbelievable!,
By Emelia Hardy (Dover, N.H. United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Why Daddy, Why? (Paperback)
This is a book that once you start to read it, you can't put it down.It keeps you on the edge of your seat. You have to keep reading because you have to know what else is going to happen.It's unbelievable what this family went through!. It goes on to tell what the author went through being split from her other siblings and mother. What a terrible life this child had! While living with nun's in a convent, it's hard to imagine that these woman of God could be so cruel! and Emelia tells it all! The Author described in detail all the terrible things that took place in her life..and there were many things!.. Everyone should read this book!...alcoholics, child abusers, and wife beaters..then and only then, maybe they can see what there actions can do to a family and especially a five year old girl who grows up and ends up trying to kill herself when she was only fifteen from something that wasn't her fault! The reader will be drawn into this true story and can't help but fall in love with this little girl. The reader will find that this is a very easy book to read because the author tells the story as a little girl!
