About this ebook
Mildred witnessed firsthand John’s bizarre behavior after he returned from the Gulf War, but no one—including her family, friends, and local police—took her warnings seriously. Even when John kidnapped their three children for eighteen months, changing their identities and living with them on the run in Antigua, or when he threatened to kill Mildred, her pleas for help went unfounded and she was forced to live undercover for eight months in a women’s shelter.
Everyone knew John as a charming and intelligent man. No one could fathom that he posed a serious threat to Mildred, let alone the ten innocent victims he and his seventeen-year-old accomplice Lee Boyd Malvo would later kill to carry out John’s heinous plot to get custody of his and Mildred’s children...permanently. What began as a domestic case eventually victimized millions. And it has taken years for Mildred and her children to heal from the fear and psychological trauma they endured.
In Scared Silent, Mildred shares her personal story to show how domestic violence devastates entire families, including the children, and hopes that what she reveals will give new insight on this national social ill.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was very well written & made you want to read it. I suggest everyone who knows someone who has been or going through abuse and/or stalking...Read this..so that you will get an idea of what they have to deal with and how hard it actually is to get out of 98% of abusive relationships...This situation is the reason why so many women are scared to get out. So saying "just leave"...isnt that simple...There are many that are just this crazy! If not crazier! But the book is worth the read...regardless!
