This true life tale happened in Wichita, Kansas about the same time as BTK was terrorizing the city. Ruth Finley was being terrorized by someone who became known as the Poet, leaving her threatening poems, following her, leaving feces and urine on her front porch and even stabbing her in the back. During an extensive police investigation, it is revealed that the Poet is Ruth Finley herself. After six years of therapy, she learns that she has a dissociative disorder caused by torturous sexual abuse when she was three years old.

This story was so sad. I wanted to pick up that little girl and hug her myself! This was a very tough read for me, but I felt it is an important topic about sexual abuse and therapy. It makes me quite sad for children who endure this kind of experience, and it makes me wonder why it happens. Children are so vulnerable, and our minds are so fragile. There should be tougher laws and consequences for offenders! Those that would hurt the most vulnerable in our society should receive the toughest of consequences!
