Product Description
"Tragedy in Tin Can Holler" is a captivating must read true story of a family's past transgressions revealing a serial killer during the great depression, incest and child abuse, lies and betrayals and domestic violence buried for decades! The vicious murder of the author's mother haunted her for 48 years, but discovering the truth about her mother's murder was just the tip of the iceberg. Her story is spell-bounding as she unveils the hidden secrets that shocked the residents of 3 counties in southeast Tennessee.

5.0 out of 5 stars A true story of how evil is passed on until someone says enough, June 21, 2007
The story within the pages of this book is best summed up by the title. "Tragedy in Tin Can Holler" is just that... The author does an amazing job of retelling the facts of a long and brutal trail of violence and abuse over several generations. The list of issues raised by the book are as relevant today in any community as they were in Tin Can Holler. One can't read this book and not be moved from horror to tears and then to joy, knowing that there is hope, if only someone cares enough to stand up and say no to evil.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read for Everyone!, June 18, 2007
WOW!! This book is a must read! Buy this book - Trust me, you will not regret it!

The book tells Rozetta's life story, including the tragic murder of her mother, when Rozetta was only [...]! (I have a [..]daughter, so this hit home for me - I just could not even begin to imagine!) The book tells all that happened before and all that happened afterwards, up till today.This book will move you to tears! It is superbly well written! It is one of those books that you want to go and see/visit all of the places mentioned within.

Me being the horror fan that I am, this is TRUE Horror - Horror that you would never want to happen to anyone! This book is recommended to anyone, no matter what genre you prefer.

If there are any directors out there (I think David Fincher would be a good choice for this story) Contact Rozetta, as I believe her story could be made into an Oscar Winning movie!! (There are that many interesting characters within!)

Rozetta is truly an amazing woman, to have gone through all that she went through, and to be the truly amazing woman that she is today!

5.0 out of 5 stars will change your perspective, June 11, 2007
By M. Hoppe (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I read the book from cover to cover as soon as I got my copy. I cannot describe how this book reaches out and grabs your heart, and it doesn't let go even after you finish reading it.

This is the kind of book that you lay in bed thinking about before you drift off to sleep. I grew up in a home with domestic violence, but I can't begin to imagine some of the horrors that Ms. Mowery and her siblings lived through.

Bless you Rosie!! Keep up the great work you are doing for so many others!
