The prolific and emotionally thwarting memoir,
In Our House, Perception vs. Reality and the multi-award-winning
authors Marala Scott and Tré Parker have won yet another Book Award
(2nd Place, Book of the Year, 2009 Premier Book Awards,
Memoir/Autobiography) among fierce competition.
These authors opened the door on a devastating and brutal subject
plaguing society today, domestic violence and child abuse. This
inspirational memoir revealed gripping unimaginable violence and
emotional torture depicted as if the reader is partaking in the
story. In the middle of the memoir when you don’t think it can get
any worse, another tormenting storyline develops around Marala’s
mother. This is a riveting narrative that has not been told, until
now.
THIS CHILLING TRUE STORY of a successful
family reveals the hidden reality behind appearances. Colin is a
brilliant, handsome, and charming man to the outside world,
recruited by both the CIA and IBM. With all his success, the
perception was that he had it all. Instead the reality was a
hellish nightmare of verbal and atrocious physical abuse for Alley,
his beautiful wife, and their six children. Alley feels helpless to
protect her children from Colin's constant attacks when three
mysterious women visit her and promise that he will never hurt them
again -- if she gives them what they want. For the sake of the
children, she agrees. The women work their evil with her family and
Alley gains immense power against Colin but finds herself in a
horror-filled battle with Colin's insatiable appetite for
abuse. Who will win, and what happens to the children?
Marala and Tré are catching the attention of reporters, colleges,
universities, high schools and corporations across the country.
They used their graphic details in the memoir to warn people about
the “Indicators of an Abuser” by helping them understand the
psychology of an abuser. Scott and Parker make a consistent
connection in showing the parallels in her life and the “Indicators
of an Abuser” that were present. They share their printed warnings
to the masses. Thousands of “Indicators of an Abuser” postcards
have been handed out nationwide. Radio hosts are left in shock
after reading the book and it’s leaving the readers wanting more
from these authors.
The interest in this memoir is a growing phenomenon and is openly
endorsed by the talented actor Tyrese Gibson. Domestic violence and
child abuse has been kept quiet for too long. Now, it’s time to
open the doors and stop hiding behind the perception of our lives
when the reality is something totally different. To learn more
