Author. Rozetta Mowery's Tragedy In Tin Can Holler True story


This amazing book about this back woods country, poor family from Athens, Tn. The horror they faced, physical abuse of their mother and death of their mother, is horrifying!! I coulnd't put it down. The Author Rozetta really put the story into such place with such great detail and feeling, I truly never felt so emotional reading a book in my life. Its amazing to me that this woman came out so smart and polished and loving.. I love how the story teaches you no matter how much hurt and abuse you can endure you can still come out of it with such love and strength, Rozetta's life is a true example of that.. Great book, this family could be any american family, teaches you behind every door no one truly knows what goes on.. Rich or poor!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Journey Into One Woman's Past Bravely Shared With The Rest Of Us, June 29, 2011
This book takes the reader on an emotional journey as one woman recounts her past as well as the past of her ancestors. She bravely shares her story with readers in the hopes of giving them the courage to face and overcome their own history of abuse. This story very clearly reveals how "The sins of the father are visited on the sons...." and shows how the cycle of abuse can and must be broken. Kudos to the author for her bravery and her willingness to share such personal details and for her work to end domestic violence! Well Done!

4.0 out of 5 stars A very interesting read., August 19, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tragedy in Tin Can Holler (Hardcover)
Rozella has exhibited great courage by confronting her family history. This had to be very painful, but enlightening as she understood the patterns in her life. I can't say this is a "good" book, but it is a very interesting read and I highly recommend it.
