My Safe Haven - The Richard Kiesler Story (Paperback)

Carpenter takes us on a heart-wrenching journey through one man's nightmare of child abuse, an abuse that continues into his adulthood and nearly drives him to suicide. My Safe Haven will leave you emotionally spent as you experience: Sadness for a little boy named Rick who's only crime was being born. Anger toward the mother who brutalizes him. Horror at her methods of abuse. And ultimately, inspiration and encouragement for the man who grows to finally realize that he's not the monster.
