I had just turned four years old and the next best thing to playing with my bride doll was istting in the dirt with one of mama's favorite kitchen spoons, occasionally tasting our fine earth to see if any changes had been made since the last scrumptious taste. One day Sara and I were riding our bikes and playing in the neighborhood with our friends, having a fun time racing each other and playing silly childhood games. Of course the time slipped away from us and before we realized it our appointed time to be home had come and gone. When we noticed how late it was, we rode our bikes as fast as we could to get home, before daddy noticed that we were missing. But there he was waiting impatiently in the doorway with an angry look on his face. When he saw us, his huge hand began to unbuckle the huge black belt. Those next few minutes of fear were seared into my mind.

"Child abuse is not a topic that is easy to talk about, much less confront, but it is crucial that we do so. All too often, the tragedy of child abuse perpetuates itself, a vicious cycle in which victim can become perpetrator. I commend Victoria Lee for her compassion, courage and determination to make a real difference. It is my hope that her book can help break the cycle of child abuse and provide a measure of comfort to those who are impacted by this societal ill."

University President, David Boren
"Congratulations for writing "A Way Out." This book, written with so much courage and insight will give courage and inspiration to others. Some day, the cycle of child abuse will be ended as our society is awakened by this book which is such an effective call to action."

Former CNN Anchor, Bob Losure
"You have tackled the issue of abuse head-on, and I applaud you. You're going to inspire many to free themselves from years of secrecy about their own imprisonment with abuse, and inspire still others to be vigilant in actively identifying those who are crying out inside for someone who will help them."
