"Small Sacrifices"       05/24/04 10:47 AM Edit Reply Quote Bevvy Reged: 11/04/03 Posts: 5918 Loc: Northwest Washington State What happened to Diane Downs' children, you ask? Well, she killed one of them. The remaining two were adopted by the prosecutor who totally fell in love with them. One of the two that he adopted ended up permanently crippled, thanks to mommy, and is in a wheelchair. This book was so fascinating to me because I just can't fathom anyone murdering their own children; it's beyond my concept. I want to know WHY, and Ann does an excellent job analyzing the reasons. As for the gory parts, there are really none in this book except for the incredible scene of mommy pointing the gun directly at her children at point blank range inside the car and pulling the trigger, while the children held their hands out in front of them to try to protect themselves. I see it in my mind all the time and still have a hard time understanding why God would allow those innocent little creatures to have to go through that..... Now, "The Stranger Besides Me" is another story. There are definitely parts in there that I had to skim over completely. I can be a real weenie too! But what scares me the most of that book is how cunning and charming that guy was, because I know for a fact that if I was at a park during the day and a real handsome young man approached me with one arm in a sling and asked if I would help him unload his canoe off his old VW Bug, I'd help him too, just like all his victims did! Wouldn't YOU? Now THAT's scary! Bev -------------------- <img src="http://home.comcast.net/~letsrow/smily3481.gif">Bevvy Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
