When Ruie Ann Park—a pillar of the Van Buren, Arkansas, community—was found beaten to death and lying in a pool of blood in her home, the police and local residents assumed the son was the murderer. But the years would uncover a more sinister story.Up till that night, the Park family seemed to have it all. For fifty years they owned and published The Press Argus newspaper. Hugh was well-connected politically and his wife, Ruie Ann, was the local historian, journalist, and teacher. They had a brilliant son and a shy adopted daughter.They built a beautiful home on top of Logtown Hill with a vista overlooking the Arkansas River, but their idyllic life ended with divorce. Ruie Ann stayed in the home, becoming more bitter and more demanding of the daughter who couldn't match up to her beloved son.The son, Sam Hugh, had a promising legal career but his fondness for young boys, alcohol, and drugs doomed what should have been a successful law practice in his hometown.

I live in Lonoke County, Arkansas on land which has been in and on which my family has lived for six generations. Cabot, Arkansas is located in Lonoke County. I have worked in Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas, the entire time we have lived here but my children went to Cabot schools and we attend church in Cabot. So when I tell people where I'm from, I say Cabot because most people know where that is. When they start to ask me if I know so-and-so, I tell them if they don't go to Mt. Carmel Baptist Church then I don't know them.I said all of that to say this, I read this book for several reasons. It was recommended to me by a paralegal who was in my Sunday School class for years (I am a legal secretary); it is the story of an incident that involves people from Cabot; and, I personally know some of those people. I moved to Lonoke County in 1979 but my life did not intersect with any of the people in this story until well after the events narrated here. From what I have heard, however, this is a fairly accurate rendition of the facts, as they occurred.Before I purchase a book from Amazon, I always read the reviews. I do not, however, let negative reviews keep me from reading a book that appears to be one that would hold my interest. Not everyone likes the type of book I would enjoy. This book is such a case. The reviews are all over the place, but then I guess you had to be there, right? So, on the strength of the recommendation of my friend and in spite of the reviews I purchased it.I have to say that it did, in fact, hold my interest. I read everything from contemporary romance to religious fiction and non-fiction. This book I would qualify as true crime and, given that it is this author's first book, it is not that bad. I couldn't have written it and I love books, words, and writing.This is the story of a woman who was verbally and emotionally abused her entire life, first by her adoptive mother and then by her husband. If you have never lived with an individual who did that to you, you can't know what you would do. My dad was emotionally abusive to me, and he didn't even realize it. Then I married a man who was a perfectionist. He was emotionally and verbally abusive. I was about at my wit's end when I went through a Bible study at church entitled Search for Significance (which is now in book form). It changed my life and my view of my stature in God's eyes - the heck with what others, including my husband, thought of me, I had value in God's eyes.A loving mother, as Linda was, will not let her emotional and verbal abuser attack her children without retaliation. It's the "mother bear syndrome." I have often said that I could easily kill anyone who abused my children in any way. Does that make me a murderer, just because I have thought it. No, but it could make me a killer - and there is a difference in a killer (one who reacts to provocation) and a murderer (one who thinks about, intends to, or plans to kill another individual).I have come to know Howard and Judy Martin in recent years through their membership in the church I attend. I would say the depiction of Howard's intelligence and legal ability in this book are spot on. I have been told he is also very controlling - perhaps because even he knows that he is not smart, like Linda's brother was. I will say this, he is weird in the way he communicates with people and sometimes behaves.Baptists believe that, if you are ever truly born into the famly of God, nothing can take you out of God's hand. That does not mean you do not have to pay for your sins, all sin has consequences. But since there is no punishment in heaven, you guessed it, you get to pay this side of heaven. If you have ever lived with or had a close relationship with someone who lived with an individual who had dementia or Alzheimers, you know how difficult life can be for the person who is the caregiver. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BUT CAN'T CONFIRM OR DENY that Howard now has dementia and Judy is his caregiver. If so, is that their punishment for what they did to Linda and her boys? I don't know, I can't speak for God. I just know that life will never be the same for them.Don't let negative reviews keep you from reading a book if you think it is something you would enjoy. But, by all means, if you like true crime, this is strictly that. I have suggested in my "title" that you start with the Acknowledgments. That is because they will give you a better understanding of where Mrs. Paddock obtained the information to write her story.
