Got up Sunday morning after your book signing and started reading Sister of Silence -- didn't put it down and finished it that afternoon. Daleen, thank you for having the courage to tell your family's story in such a sensitive and compelling way. 

I was moved by the book, but the one comment that really struck me as so true was when Trudy told you that she wanted to commend you for choosing your children over your husband because most women do not. I have known many women who chose men who were not even their children's father over their children and subjected their children to years of domestic violence without a thought to the children. I commend you too for choosing to take the necessary action to protect your children and to begin a new, healthy and happier successful life. Your story will be an inspiration to many women who need to have a model to use on how to break the cycle.

I really enjoyed this book, Sister of Silence. Although I have not had to deal with the problems Daleen endured it was very easy to understand and relate to as a woman. Well written and a must read for women in the same circumstnaces or anyone for that matter. Today she is an award winning journalist, author and expert on abuse issues. Congratulations to Daleen for her success and sharing her story with the world.
