I am the author of "Tragedy in Tin Can Holler" and in light of the first review, which is very unfair to me as an author since that person clearly did not understand why I chose not to use real names for some characters in my book and as a reporter in my hometown as he claims he was...and didn't remember anything about my mother's murder, well I question that because this horrible murder shocked the entire town and was on the entire front page of the local newspaper. I am posting another review from another journalist for everyone to read.
Like slowly pulling an ice pick out of the heart. Rozetta Mowery holds a mirror in front of America and gives one of the most devastating real life accounts of domestic violence and its vicious cycle ever put on paper. The brutality is not just read, it is relived and the reader is there. The pain seethes through every page like an ice pick pushed inches deeper as you read along. Rosie's survival and ability to cope became an ice pick slowly being pulled out of the reader where she and we note a healing process. The book is an indictment against domestic abuse and should be among required reading for women as well as men who are drawn toward or feel trapped in abusive relationships. The fact this book was written at all is in itself a miracle. Hats off to the new voice speaking out against domestic violence!

Poor researching
Having lived much of my life in Athens, Tenn., and having worked there as a newspaper reporter and editor, I was disappointed to read so many mistakes in Ms. Mowery's book. I'm certain she had many of her facts straight but when she refers to Judge Sue K. Hicks as "she" or "her" I realized she was either unfamiliar with prominent names in her "hometown" or else was simply sloppy in her research. In another blunder, she referred to the owner of "Con's Market" as "Mr. Con.'' In fact Con was the owner's first name, his last name being Pearman. I have no recollection of this tragedy about which Ms. Mowery writes, but I suppose most of it is true. However, mistakes so glaring as getting wrong the sex of a judge and the name of a pominent merchant tend to make me suspicious of the entire book.
