Rewriting the Script will have you flipping the script! A page -turner that's guaranteed to make you do two out of three things: Throw the book, rip up the book or cry through the book. If you never read a novel that made you call out Jesus name, prepare yourself, for all there is left to say is "JESUS".
This poignant novel is a heart-breaking riveting life story that begins for a young girl at the tender age of five. Can you imagine a five-year old saying " He shoved it deeply down my throat?" Can you imagine being forced to drink a concoction of dead roaches in some form of liquid? These incidents don't even touch the surface beholding in this novel.
The story grips at the core of your imagination vividly of the inhuman characters responsible for the incessant turmoil of emotional and physical damages penetrating the young girl life. As the author chronicles the story, she depicts the demons that plagued her life in such detail that you feel her fear, anxiety and struggles from within those pages. Several times you will cry out, "no more, dear Lord, she can't take no more, please help her!!
From within the author, this novel serves as a living witness that you can survive against the threatening obstacles of life's cruelty that steals your self-worth. This novel serves as a walking testimony of faith and strength defying the 'generational curses'. This novel offers HOPE. A hope that you will succumb to Rewriting your Script as you hope it to be, not as life circumstances depicts.
I applaud the author, Arlether Wilson for her courageous willingness to expose her life of violence, sexual abuse, abandonment, devastating deaths, incest, and deceit that are now hurdles of victories.
This novel is powerful, its heartfelt, its shocking and its a must READ!

This book really made me even more cautious to the where abouts of my children and who's around them. It will make you desire to be an even better parent....it will make the social worker look deeper....it will make the teacher ask more questions. I promise you that if you are in any type of social services that deal with children, this book will really do something to you. I cried, I cried, I prayed for other children, I got angry, and then I prayed all over again. You're in for an emotional roller coaster but it will make you want to do something! I recommend this book to social workers, teachers, pastors, sunday school teachers, and any one working with children. It will give you insight into a child's world that is far from perfect.
Thanks to the author for putting a candle under my feet concerning the youth. Now my eyes are open to what could be going on with them so that I can maybe be the one to prevent them from going through so much pain.

I cried throughout the entire book.
After reading it, I felt that I wasted a lot of time not talking and listening to my son. (and he is five)
If this book moves you, you will study your children and their friends more.
It is a MUST READ!
