TW: Tears of The Silenced is a true crime memoir that tells the world of extreme violence that most of us cannot even imagine. Could someone who loves to gently read bedtime stories to young children each night turn out also be someone who brutally beats the same children several times a day and sexually assaults them? Could a biological mother beat her children with a leather belt and a metal fly sqautter and watch their children being molested by their step father gleefully? Could such cruel people be members of a church? And could a church enable and empower such abusers by systemically preventing the members, especially victims of absue from making any contact with the outside world? This is the real-life story and a first-hand narrative of the author and survivor, Misty Griffin.
