Incredible!, July 19 2004
This review is from: Morning Come Quickly (Hardcover)
MORNING, COME QUICKLY, describes one newly licensed psychologist plunge into the abuses of cults. The story takes the reader into the Deep South, where clans and satanic cults have incubated for years, spawning generations of perpetrators and victims. Her growth as a therapist will not be stunted by fear of reprisals, lawsuits, or retribution. This saga of evil-doings spans over twenty years, and changes both the therapist and her clients. Wanda Karriker has written in a style that survivors of these cults, and the general population, would appreciate. Cheryl Hill, author of FAMILY TRADITION, http://CherylHill.homestead.com/index.html

A highly recommended resource, July 1 2004
This review is from: Morning Come Quickly (Hardcover)
I would suggest this book for anyone who wishes to become more familiar with ritual abuse.One thing that strikes me as certain is that survivors of SRA have almost no political power to deal with this type of abuse. This book clearly expresses the dilemma that many survivors and their therapists experience. There are tens of thousands of survivors of SRA/RA that are attempting to heal and overcome this type of severe trauma. Many are highly intelligent and lead successful lives. Perhaps they should organize themselves on a political level in order to strengthen their position. While it may be difficult to pursue criminal charges against these abusers, civil charges may be an option. At a minimum, it may help to raise awareness and may possibly interfere with ongoing/future abuse. Individuals should attempt to pursue justice whenever possible. If survivors were to organize themselves, they would be far more effective. In addition to possibly bringing about a greater sense of justice, organized groups of survivors would be able to aid one another in their healing. If survivors and their allies could work as a unified group (like the abusers do) they would be far more effective... Regarding the book itself, it's very helpful and informative. I hesitate to call it 'enjoyable' -as the subject matter is so severe, however the book is very 'engaging' and well written. The story is clearly told in a descriptive and creative manner. I would recommend this book highly to anyone interested in learning more about SRA/RA. I plan to donate this book to my local library once I've finished. I would also suggest it to my survivor friends.

A courageous endeavor, Mar 10 2004
This review is from: Morning Come Quickly (Hardcover)
Dr. Karriker's book, Morning Come Quickly, is timely, courageous, well-considered, and articulate. It succeeds on many levels: as a testament to the reality of ritual abuse, as a well-crafted mystery, and as a monument to the human spirit that can survive the most horrendous experience. We recommend this novel for both its literary artistry and its psychological, social, historical foundation. Pamela Perskin and James Randall Noblitt
