You must read this book!

What a story! This story grabs you by the lapels and holds you down from the first page through the epilogue. The suffering of a young child whose plight inspires this country's child protection movement is not only an education but a riviting story as well. I have read few books that were as well written and as thought provoking as well. A must for all who love children.

Out of the Darkness: The Story of Mary Ellen Wilson

This book is a "must read" for everyone who has anything to do with children. It is a reminder of what happened then and what still happens today. It should be required reading for every student going into social work. It would also make a great movie!

Heartwarming Tale of Personal Commitment

This is a marvelous work, detailing the early years of the struggle for animal and children's rights in America. Written in a most-readable style, the authors convey the richness of detail so necessary to good historical work, and bring the reader directly in contact with the characters, places, and intellectual mindsets of the period. It is thoroughly enjoyable,despite it's distressing subject matter, and the story will remain within my heart forever!

Make room in your heart for Mary Ellen...

Child abuse is a subject many people would prefer not to think about. This account of the life of Mary Ellen Wilson will change that way of thinking. This story will open your heart to a little girl who, for much of her childhood had no friends, no hugs, no kisses, no bedtime "I love you" moments. The book will take you from the beginnings of a love story, through death, child abuse, hate, compassion, rescue, and survival. It's a must read for anyone who thinks that one person cannot make a difference in the life of a child. Thank you, Mr. Shelman and Dr. Lazoritz for bringing Mary Ellen into our lives...may the doors of our hearts be opened as a result.

I couldn't put it down...

Although one might think that a story of child abuse might not be one to enjoy reading about, this book tells a great story of the strength of the human spirit. Not only did I get hooked right away by following the story of a family, but by the twists and turns that lead up to and follow the life of a remarkable little girl and the odds that she somehow overcame. This book touches on all emotions and once it is picked up, it is hard to put down.
