15 Year Nightmare of Abduction, Rape and Torture...Beyond the
Bluegrass is a true story about a young woman who grew up in the backwoods of
Kentucky. At sixteen years old, Golda wanted a better life and decided to leave
her hometown to get a job to earn money for college. What Golda didn't know was
that the path she was taking her to a place where she would be kidnapped. The
police in Kentucky turned a blind eye and nobody seemed to search for her,
nobody seemed to want to help even though she desperately tried to get away.
Beaten and battered, she escaped, but then Golda was re-captured and forced back
into submission as the man threatened to murder her family. Golda couldn't put
anyone else at risk, especially her children and continued to suffer physical,
sexual, and psychological abuse for years on end, hoping that she could get away
once and for all. She ignored the pain, the gnawing inside her stomach, instead
choosing to protect the ones she loved from pain and death. Beyond the Bluegrass
depicts a woman's struggle with hope and her desire for freedom. After years of
being subject to abuse, she wasn't sure if she would survive or make it out
alive. For Golda, freedom would most certainly mean death. Golda's story changed
from one of being a victim to being a survivor. Her story is an unflinching and
honest tale of the battle with a captor and her struggle to
survive.

I only give honest reviews, and I try my best not to hurt the
author. My opinions are about the book not the author.
This book was so hard to read not because of the content but
because of the poor writing, I really think that Ms. Harvey needs a good editor,
the story jumps around and it is not telling the whole story.
I was left not knowing how she dealt with everything , how did how
kids deal with it all. Why did she go to jail? I did not get anything from the
book, all of the unanswered questions, left me hanging, I did not care for
it.
On the up side if a good editor gets a hold of this book, it may be
a huge hit.

At first when I read about the story I thought it might be interesting as it sounds o similar to a woman kidnapped in Califrnia and ll the years she spent as a prisoner with years of abuse. That being said, Mary thank you or being honest about this book. I hope maybe ome day they can pull the book off and edit to make it the book it should be.

Mary, thanks for the honest review. I know it is hard to give a review like this because you don't want to hurt the author, but they do ask for honesty. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your honest review, Mary. I agree with you about reviews being about the book and not the author. Constructive criticism is a good thing for all of us, and if your constructive criticism helps this author find the assistance she needs, then you have accomplished your goal.
