5.0 out of 5 stars SHOCKING AND GRIPPING..., 1 Jan 2003
By Lawyeraau (Balmoral Castle) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
This is a very strong, well written, debut novel. Taut and suspenseful, it immediately captures the reader with its absolutely shocking prologue, as it pulls no punches. This chilling and disturbing beginning grabs the reader, hook, line, and sinker. From then on, the reader will not stop turning the pages of this well crafted book, until the reader has devoured it in its entirety.

The author tells the story of a mother's struggle to free her five year old daughter from a sexual predator, the child's own father. It is a story precipitated by the emotional pain of a five year old child who has been living a nightmare at her father's hands, courtesy of the New York Family Court system. The shocking subject matter is handled with great sensitivity by the author.

The impact that this all has on the child, her mother, and, ultimately, her friends and family is the crux of the story, which moves rapidly along. It is the story of a woman who had it all and risked losing it for the sake of her child. It is a well told tale with a basis in fact. Moreover, the author manages to have a few surprises in store for the reader.

The story is reminiscent of a true life drama that hit the news a number of years ago, when a Dr. Elizabeth Morgan was held in civil contempt and jailed for over two years for refusing to reveal the whereabouts of her daughter, Hilary. She was driven by the fear that Hilary's father, Dr. Eric Foretich, whom she had accused of sexually molesting the child, would be given access to the child. Dr. Morgan's parents had taken Hilary to another country, so that the child could live a life free of her alleged sexual predator.

If this true life drama is of interest, then you will, undoubtedly, enjoy reading "Puppet Child". The book is an indictment of the New York Family Court system and a cry for justice for all children who are at the mercy of a sexual predator within their own family.
