Three Lies: F.S.I.T.D Pt2

The Johnson boys – Donnie, Maurice, and David – grew up in murky waters themselves to a single-mother and stepfather whose relationship created the perfect ingredients for child abuse and neglect. Psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and education researchers conclude today that child abuse and neglect can actually be enough of a stimulus to alter negatively the brain chemistry of developing youth. Donnie and his brothers were no exceptions to this research finding. David is distant, Maurice is a hauntingly insecure child psychologist, and Donnie is an inmate on death row sentenced for the murders of three women – accused, but how guilty is he, if he is guilty at all? That is up to you to decide, and this book will keep you working on that decision from cover to cover. Donnie Johnson, the main character, twists the common and exaggerated story of a “bad” family rendering a “bad” child in a manner that pulls and pushes readers to ask deeper questions about the extent to which Donnie represents the “perfect victim.”
