Excellent reading, couldn't put it down!

A heartwarming, eye opening account of what goes on behind closed doors. The author expresses her feelings and experiences from deep within her soul, with the courage and strength to use the wisdom she learned from the uncle who raised her.

Beautifully written, this book is one I could not put down and highly rates as one of my favorites! Don't miss out on it!!




Brilliant book, will read it again

This is one I would recommend to anybody. It touched me in many ways, more than I can describe. I work in the domestic violence field and this book is not only accurate, it is deep and so well written.

Simply Outstanding

Torn From The Inside Out is simply the most riveting and intriguing book I've ever read!The author does an excellent job of depicting her life, the abuse encountered and poignantly reminds us that nothing is more powerful or important than the human spirit.I can't wait for part two.The author is a true hero.






A MUST READ FOR EVERYONE! Amazing Life Story!

This book is a 'MUST READ' for everyone. I couldn't stop reading it, I had to see what would happen next! This story of survival is amazing. It should be mandatory that everyone who deals with domestic violence issues should be required to read this book, including Judges and Law-Enforcement Officers. The detailed description of her thoughts, feelings, and emotions in this book explains and helps one to understand why women stay in a domestic violence situation. You feel the dynamics of the emotional roller coaster and you see how strong the human spirit can be. It reads like fiction, but it is true. I highly recommend this book to everyone. I also encourage everyone to do their part to help stop the hurt caused by domestic violence.

Recognizing the collateral damage...

I started reading this book today thinking that I would finish it in a few days. Well, I couldn't put it down and ended up reading the whole book in one day. WOW! I would recommend Torn From The Inside Out to anyone who is in an abusive environment, but especially to anyone with influence over children being exposed to such an environment.

Sara Niles was attached to a perpetual yo-yo in a love him/leave him marriage for too many years. A lot of people may never be able to understand the psyche involved in such a relationship, but this book may shed some light on that issue for them. I could relate to her life in so many ways but not from the same view she had while living it. The emotions triggered in me while reading this book were more in line with what Sara's children most certainly experienced by witnessing the abuse she suffered at the hand of their father. That brings me to why I really admire Josephine Thompson.

Josephine/Sara not only had the wisdom to seek professional help for herself, but she realized the collateral damage, the pain and suffering carried by her children, and sought help for them too. In her own words, "Everyone focused their energy on debriefing me and no one thought of debriefing the children." Sara Niles jumped into educating herself in psychology to the point that when she couldn't take classes fast enough she researched independently in order to gain the skills needed to heal herself and her children. Thank you for for that revelation, Dear Sara, a lot of people never have it.

You have written a powerful, insightful book, Sara Niles. I would like to say to you, "Do it again."

Torn From the Inside Out is a literary narrative domestic violence memoir; powerful literary symbolisms and metaphors, well developed characterizations and powerful emotional impact.Torn is the story of Sara Niles.

Given away to her aged and wise Uncle Robert and Aunt Molly at age 3 ½, Sara spent ten years on the ?flower bed of Eden? being lavished with love and attention until death took its toll and Sara married an abusive man named Thomas Niles when she was only 16. Niles invites us to enter into her lifelong odyssey by the words: 'Let the journey begin', and so it does as the reader enters into a formerly forbidden zone.

The story of Sara Niles is more than a story of one woman's journey into pain, it resounds with the voices of the many veterans of domestic war. Torn From the Inside Out celebrates a power greater than death itself, the power of the human spirit under fire.
