Amanda Wright was just four years old when she witnessed her
mother's brutal murder. John Dickinson, a family friend, strangled
her mother to death in front of her and then he tried to do the
same to Amanda. He laid their lifeless bodies out on their bed, set
fire to it and left the house, hoping the fire would conceal the
crime. It was the milkman who saved Amanda's life, though it was
too late for mum Sue. Amanda spent weeks in hospital for painful
skin graft operations on her burned legs before moving in with her
grandparents. Yet, from the day of the tragedy she was haunted by
flashbacks and nightmares. On her first day of school, Amanda
watched other children crying for their mummies and suddenly
realised that she would never see her own mother again. It was a
painful adjustment for a little girl who, until that moment, had
spent her whole life with her mum. More alone than ever before she
was determined not to give in, finding strength in her memories of
her mother. Without a Mother's Love is a sad, strange yet beautiful
story about a girl who lost everything but found the strength
inside herself to make her mother proud.
The Love That Seeped Through is an uplifting compilation of poetry
and notes. This book was created to inspire and encourage readers
while on their journey of loving one's self, giving love to
another, or learning to receive love wholeheartedly from another.
Author and poet, Roniece Amanda Wright, wrote this book to show
that no matter how severely people try to break you down and tear
you apart, there is always room for the beauty of love to seep
through the cracks and shine as bright as the sun.
