This is a book that you will never forget.,
By Judy Maynard Kiser (Brunswick, Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Orphan: A True Story of Abandonment, Abuse, and Redemption (Paperback)
I watched this man as he wrote this entire book. He sat at his computer a minimum of twenty hours a day, for more than two years and one half years.I sat and watched as this man, who has probably never cried a tear in fifty years, cry like a baby after completing each and every one of the stories inside this book.He is a very kind man, but he is a man who has never allowed anyone to truly enter inside his heart. I do not think that he knows how to do something like that. I have read the book "Orphan" many, many times, long before it ever hit the book stores. Still, I do not have the heart to tell my husband how sad the book really is.

"Orphan" will break your heart,
By Bob Waskiewicz (Wintersville, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Orphan: A True Story of Abandonment, Abuse, and Redemption (Paperback)
"Orphan" starts out with the police breaking into a house, finding a three year old girl crying in the kitchen with human waste smeared all over herself,and four year old Roger holding a dead baby,trying to feed it corn flakes.You don't think it could get any worse than this for Roger Dean Kiser,but it does."Orphan" will break your heart at what this kid had to go through in life.Beatings,Sexual Abuse,and Abandonment.There are some good people that Roger write's about,and some very funny stories.The ending will have you crying,and its a happy one.I could not put this book down for two days.I would honestly have to say that "Orpan" is one of the best books I've ever read.

Everyone needs to read this book!,
This review is from: Orphan: A True Story of Abandonment, Abuse, and Redemption (Paperback)
I am continually in awe of Roger Dean Kiser's incredible stories. Each one touches some part of my heart and soul. His stories capture me from the first sentence and leave me breathless as I deal with the incredible emotions that well up from inside me.But I am even more in awe of Roger as a person. There is no one in this world who has more "reason" to use his past as an excuse for present problems than Roger. However, instead of becoming full of hatred, bitterness, and spite, Roger has become someone full of love, hope, and encouragement. Yes, I am sure it was a long hard road, with many trials since his youth, but he has come through the refiner's fire as tempered steel and not ashes. Roger, may you continue to fight the good fight, and use your past as a way to make a difference in the lives of millions! If only all of us were so strong of character and convictions!
