By Their Father's Hand: The True Story of the Wesson Family Massacre

Aside from distracting typo's (can't believe the printed edition would have included these) this is one of those books that is hard to put down, though you must at times to come back to a nicer place. Sort of like a train wreck - you know it's going to cause devastation but can't turn away from it. Due to the nature of the subject matter, I wouldn't make it available to young people. Anyone squeamish about overt sexual terminology may not like parts dealing with the trial. A caution to ALL of us to be aware of and involved in the welfare of innocent children.

The author did a wonderful job on such a dark, twisted, and sad true story. As hard as it is to read about such horrible events this is a very good book to remember these innocent children that should not be forgotten no matter how gruesome their story is. Very easy read although I knew it would be difficult to follow since there are so many different names by the middle you pretty much get a sense of who everyone is.

My heart ached every moment of this book. I' live in fresno &I remember when this happened...12 years later I get to read what really happened. May their souls rest in peace.
