Publisher's Synopsis
Confessions of an altar boy. Did recent revelations of sexual abuse at Penn State have you shocked? Joe Paterno, Head Football Coach was fired even though he clearly was not the abuser. No matter the institution, nor the decade, time and again, we hear the same thing; that many children have been abused for a long time at church or at school. Most people are left wondering with the same burning question; "HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN"? These are the very PILLARS OF OUR COMMUNITY that we trusted with our kid's safety. TERROR IN A SMALL TOWN, set in the 60's, is a true story that tries to answer these questions. It's an inside look at how these manipulators control their victims, and in some cases, even their extended families. Ghost writer, Norman Edwards, pulls back the shroud of silence and the veil of mystery, through graphic details provided by the victim. Like all kids, at first, he trusted the perpetrators, then was abducted by the power welding secret society of pedophiles, then abused. He now refuses to remain silent. He tells his story so that "Your Children" do not become victims.
