Sorry, I just saw this post. Thank you! I sometimes think about a John-free life, but I don't cry over it. I just contemplate it for a bit and move on pretty comfortable in my own skin at this point in my life. Again, thank you so much for your kind words and reaching out to let me know that I might inspire people by sharing my story. If you have the time, do you mind maybe posting a review on Amazon? That would really be helpful. Best, Dawn Hi Adam! Sorry, I just saw this post. Thank you! I sometimes think about a John-free life, but I don’t cry over it.

I just finished reading the book, like 15 minutes ago, and I want to say, your story is absolutely amazing. I could NOT put this book down and read it in one sitting...over a period of about 8 hours. Having seen the movie, I will say, as good as the movie was...the book was much better. Thank you for allowing complete strangers to take an in depth lok into what had to be the most horrific 5-6 years of your life. I think you inspire many more people than you know. I just have one questiion. Do you ever stop to think how differently things might have played out if your father had never stopped to pick up Marty, and what a John-free existence might have felt like? I'm just curious. Thank you again for your wonderful, horrible, incredible, thought provoking, glimpse inside the human spirit. Adam Dawn..

I'm so glad you are out of the abuse and danger and am so sorry for the terror you have experienced. Give yourself time to heal and remember to do the next right thing as best you can when times get tough. Good things happen, for you too. I am happy today and have a great life. I see life as full of abundance and I have a purpose. So do you. Keep in touch. God Bless, Dawn Hi Libby,

I JUST watched Wonderland for the first time and now I would love to buy your book! I was in a relationship for 3 years with a now ex boyfriend that could of been John Holmes, reincarnated, no joke. I mean their personalities and demeanors are so alike. I shoulda, coulda, woulda DIED sooo many times while I was in that relationship, but Im here for some greater purpose which I have yet to figure out:-) And I am currently trying to climb my way out of the deepest black hole Ive ever been in my entire life, thanks to my ex getting me in so much debt and legal trouble, BUT I know it was my fault too and am taking responsibility for our actions. He got off the hook, I took the blame even though he introduced me to the drug/loser scene, abused me, used me, cheated on me, lied to me, got me to write bad checks, take out credit cards and even when i sacraficed everything i worked my entire life for including taking from my own family, he still wanted more, made me feel like crap and then left me all alone to clean up the mess and deal with the consequences. Theres so much more to the story but Im slowly putting the pieces of my life back together and trying to move on with my life, Id like to write a book someday about my life but that wont happen til Im at least out of debt and out of my parents house again and someday driving a car with heat (in maine it gets very cold here)---those would be the bare minimums before i could even think about starting to write a book! Thank you so much Dawn and I wish you all the best! I hope you are happily married these days with a happy secure healthy family of your own because you deserve only the best after all you've been through! WOW and hello Dawn!

Had I searched your blog better I would have seen the website just for your book information. Good luck still with your journey, I'm still plugging away in my day to day. Really looking forward to the August release date. Take care, thanks again. Hello again Dawn,

I hope you and your family are well. I don't wish to be indelicate, but it has been 5 years since the movie came out and at that time it was said in the credits that you had just finished writing your book. Now I see it will be at least another 8 months before the book is actually finished/released? August 2010? Would it be possible to make a statement of some sort about your book and the progress/status of the book? Many of us have followed your journey and identify as victims and hopefully as survivors of drugs and domestic violence. It seems that it has been left on the back burner. Thank you very much.

I really loved the movie and I can't wait to hear your side of everything! I was also just wondering how come it is taking so long to be released?
