5 out of 5 stars To Know You is to Understand You.......2002-07-10

There are parts of life that you may never know about or understand unless an insider tells you. The author shares a part of her life that is certainly painful and retelling it must have been very difficult. However if she had not told us we would not have known nor had a chance to understand. This is a story about survival and the amazing ability of the human spirit to overcome adversity from those who you should be able to trust. This story is as great and powerful as the stories told by those who survived the WWII concentration camps. We thank those survivors who tell us their story so that we can prevent the dark past from happening again and do somthing for those who may be going through the experience now. The author tells a story that can not and should never be forgetten. You will be changed by the experience and view the world around you diffrently and it may help you protect your own family some day.

5 out of 5 stars The Throw Away Kids.......2002-06-04

Gripping, honest, brutal, unsettling---these are the adjectives that best describe the tone and nuance of "The Throw Away Kids". Ms. Taggart opens up her heart and mind to the reader as she leads us down the dark corridors of her childhood. She explores the physical results of constant, daily and prolonged beatings, as well as the emotional toll of manipulation and verbal abuse. Ms. Taggart and her siblings fell through the cracks---a dysfunctional family unit, a poorly run and uncaring social service department, contributed to years of pain and unhappiness. I highly recommend this book. It is time---and the time is now---to stop throwing our most valuable resource away---our children.

5 out of 5 stars The Throw-Away Kids.......2002-05-23

This book addresses real issues that community and different church leaders have to deal with. It is an eye opener and gives hope to those who have been abused. It is a success story of one who endured the worst, one who overcame it all, and is now living a happy and successful life. It is fast reading and , definitely worth it!
