G.W. Foote's The Child Convict is a raw and emotional look at child
abuse and how some scars never quite heal. In 1950, a young
blond-haired, blue-eyed boy grows up in a small rural town. From
the outside he and his family are like everyone else but, behind
closed doors, a victim is born from constant mental and physical
abuse. This boy, from the age of four, carries his secret, his fear
and his hatred for his abusers throughout most of his life. Feeling
unloved and unwanted, this boy grows into a man that travels all
over the country searching for an answer to a question that could
never be answered -- why did the people that were supposed to love
him want to hurt him? Filled with a rage that brings him back full
circle to his abusers, he ultimately finds his path toward
redemption and light at the end of what seemed to be a never-ending
tunnel. Foote's moving story is based on facts from his childhood.
His candid honesty and troubling truth will haunt your memory long
after the final page is turned. His brave narration gives voice and
hope to those who have suffered the horrors of abuse.
