5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Truth Told In Fiction Form, October 7, 2003

By 

Claire Reeves, Founder, Mothers Against Sexua... (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Morning, Come Quickly (Hardcover)

Dr. Wanda Karriker, author of Morning Come Quickly, has written a superb book addressing the very serious issue or organized and sadistic abuse against children. This fast moving page-turner is written in fiction, making it palpable for all audiences. Dr. Karriker transports the reader into the very darkest side of human behavior: ritual abuse and mind control of children. As the secret lives of the main characters unfold, the reader feels the heightened emotion of every frightening moment.

Only a few professionals, those who have witnessed the devastation to victims who often spend their entire lives in recovery - know the reality of these crimes. That is not because it is not real. Victims across the country and around the world are telling their stories of suffering at the hands of organized groups.

Morning Come Quickly educates on many levels. It should be enlightening for professionals in the mental health fields, law enforcement, attorneys, teachers, child advocates, and anyone who is concerned with the health, welfare and safety of children.

It is riveting as the reader is catapulted into another world, it is brilliantly researched with extensive documentation.

The truth will set you free and the truth explodes in this superlative tome, a wonderful validation to all survivors of unspeakable crimes.

5.0 out of 5 stars a tribute to recovery and a flag of hope, October 21, 2003

By 

Frances R. Yoeli (kibbutz, israel) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Morning, Come Quickly (Hardcover)

Morning Come Quickly is not just a book about mind control, child abuse and child pornography, it is about the terrors that annihilate.
I don't know what evil is. I do know what hurt is.
The pain of betrayal for a child is the annihilation of his being.
In Morning Come Quickly, Dr. Karriker enables the reader to understand the potency of good. it is the good within the heroine, that enables her to come to terms with the evil perpetrated on her being.
Dr. Karriker describes a universal - evil and good. and goodness prevails.
It is that goodness that provides the resiliency and the strength to walk the path and expose the horrors. Yes, the book is written in novel form. I see it as a tribute to recovery for those who have walked down the paths Dr. Karriker so clearly describes and interweaves. And it is a flag of hope and a gift of love.
A must read for anyone who loves children, and loves life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent novel and expose on the realities of Ritual Abuse, December 21, 2003

By 

"andybiscuit" (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Morning, Come Quickly (Hardcover)

Sometimes called the "hidden holocaust", Dr. Karriker exposes the grim realities of what is known as Ritual Abuse through the eyes of both therapist and survivor. Although the book is fictional, it is believed that the perverse and twisted cult practices detailed here have been happening for generations across the globe. There have been many reports of cult abuse which have gone unrecognized or have been generalized under the umbrella of "child abuse". To ascertain the truth, we must ask ourselves how so many reports of this nature, from so many victimized children and adult survivors, can contain the same malicious themes and elements.

Wanda's book gives hope to survivors of trauma and to those selfless souls who work with survivors.

The novel is a well-written, suspenseful mystery that is very difficult to put down.

Well done!
