Review: Sister of Silence
Sister of Silence by Daleen Berry
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a story of woman who endured chronic date rape and when that led to pregnacy and prime time news attention, tried to build a house of love out of that mess. Sad, very sad, and a very real exposition of the psychology of vicitimization.
A horny teenager ingratiated himself into a needy family and a careless mother let serial rape being and continue under her own roof until nationally recognized pergnacy (a story was done on the author's high school's high rate of teen pregnacy) and Daleen ends up married to her rapist. After three kids and therapy she finally stands up to him. Certainly a cautionary tale on many levels.
