Recenzii
Diamond in the Dark is a gripping, unceasingly honest story of her life. - Florida Network of Childrens Advocacy
WOW! What a fascinating story! So many twists and turns it makes the average TV movie-of-the-week look humdrum by comparison. ―Jeff Weeks, Host, Conversations with Jeff Weeks, PBS in Pensacola, Florida
Who you are born to and who you marry are inherently linked. Strike it lucky in the birth department, grow up in a family where you are valued and loved, and your chance of choosing a partner who also values and loves you improves markedly. This didnt happen to Phyllis Hain, the writer of a remarkably honest memoir, Diamond in the Dark: Leaving the Shadow of Abuse, which shines a light on an area that no one wants to talk or do anything about―domestic violence. It reinforces the fact that physical and sexual abuse in a family unit, no matter what the circumstances, is never acceptable, only criminal. Diamond in the Dark is the sad but always optimistic and inspiring journey of a courageous woman who stumbles, falls, and stumbles again, to rise up and walk tall. Bravo, Phyllis. Good life, good read. ―MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
About halfway through this book, I decided I had to keep reading till the end. Very well done. Fascinating, and also enlightening. Thanks for sharing your story. Five out of five stars. An unexpected gem. ―APRIL S. MYERS, CO-OWNER, SPINNING EGG BOOKS, GIG HARBOR, WA
I have known Phyllis Hain in a professional capacity for almost three years. Her book is an incredible memoir it is honest, it is compelling, and it reads like a good murder mystery! But, to anyone working in the field of child protection and advocacy, the book means so much more. Woven in between the engaging narrative is the story of a victim finding her voice; of a person reflecting on her experiences and realizing the impact a childhood of victimization can have. Phylliss life, as described in Diamond in the Dark, reads like a textbook description of abuse left untreated the reliance on male attention to compensate for living through family violence at an early age, teen pregnancy, unhealthy relationships, and the pattern of keeping it all in Thankfully, Phyllis chose a career that helped her to understand and reflect on where she had come from and now, where she can go. ―STACEY KOSTEVICKI, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, GULF COAST KID'S HOUSE, INC., WHOSE MISSION IS TO FACILITATE THE INVESTIGATION, PROSECUTION, AND TREATMENT OF CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT AND PROMOTE CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION AWARENESS THROUGH COMMUNITY EDUCATION
