Story
For as long as Dori can remember, she's never known a safe place other than church with her youth group. It's the only escape she and her little sister, Kati, have. As Dori ages and her family cracks down the middle, she raises her little sister with scripture and her hard-working Daddy's ingrained teachings as her only guide. When she reaches the confusing age of womanhood, she knows that God loves her but feels troubled beyond repair. Why did all those men single her out and leave her broken? What man would want a girlfriend or wife who's been molested by seven different men?

Emily has always felt like an outsider, so when a family friend takes her under his wing she is delighted. But soon it becomes clear that his motives are not all they seem. At the age of 11, Emily is groomed into being a ‘county lines’ drug trafficker. It is the beginning of a vicious cycle that sees her become prey to one abuser after another, involving a huge child-sex-trafficking gang. The scale of the abuse—at the hands of hundreds of men—is sickening, and at times it feels like there will never be an escape. But then, in the darkest of moments, a ray of light shines....

Writing this memoir has to be one of the hardest things I have ever achieved. Out of respect for the dead, this story has been told exactly how it happened. I was born in 1985 in Lancashire, England, to two alcoholic parents. Having selfish parents left me exposed to abuse, poverty, and crime. My loving grandparents helped me the best they could at the weekends, but life was barely survivable.

Welcome to a place of unconditional love and unexpected blessings. When widow Rose Schrock turns her Amish farmhouse into a bed and breakfast, she expects there might be problems. The reaction of her cantankerous mother-in-law for one. Disapproval from the church for another. But what she doesn’t expect is that the guests at the Inn at Eagle Hill will spill their problems into her life and into her heart. She also never expects the kind of help and support she gets from Galen King, the quiet and rugged horse trainer next door. Love, Rose discovers, can bloom in the most unexpected ways.

This is my true story about living with a monster - a monster whom only those in my household would have ever had the unfortunate chance to meet. The monster I called my daddy!

Ryan and Phil had always been inseparable. Twins born 35 minutes apart, Ryan was the protective one, constantly looking out for his younger brother. They can't remember how old they were when the abuse started, but they can remember their uncle very clearly. A frequent visitor to their home in Lincoln, he lavished their family with expensive treats. School holidays and weekends were spent visiting him, when he would often take the two little boys aside to play the games he liked. Trapped with him, day after day, year after year, the abuse continued until Ryan and Phil turned 16.

I was born and broken in Birkenhead, abused from infancy by a network of every kind of pervert from ‘thinks it’s love’ to ‘show it hurts’. I was unwanted, beaten, sold, swapped, photographed, filmed, left for dead, corrupted, blamed, betrayed, ignored and orphaned. But I was also born with a fire inside me. I call it my Phoenix Fire. I am no victim—that word only describes what happened to me. Nor am I a survivor because that implies I am over it. I am a Phoenix—a work in progress. This is my story....

Tara Westover and her family grew up preparing for the End of Days but, according to the government, she didn’t exist. She hadn’t been registered for a birth certificate. She had no school records because she’d never set foot in a classroom, and no medical records because her father didn’t believe in hospitals. As she grew older, her father became more radical and her brother more violent. At 16, Tara knew she had to leave home. In doing so she discovered both the transformative power of education, and the price she had to pay for it.

Summary
A true crime memoir: When Misty was six years old, her family started to live and dress like the Amish. Misty and her sister were kept as slaves on a mountain ranch where they were subjected to almost complete isolation, sexual abuse, and extreme physical violence. Their stepfather kept a loaded rifle by the door at all times to make sure the young girls were too terrified to try to escape. They also knew that no rescue would ever come because only a couple of people even knew they existed and did not know them well enough to care.
Amish sexual abuse: When Misty reached her teens, her parents feared she and her sister would escape and took them to an Amish community where they were adopted and became baptized members. Misty was devastated to once again find herself in a world of fear, animal cruelty, and sexual abuse. Going to the police was severely frowned upon. A few years later, Misty was sexually assaulted by the bishop. As Misty recalls, "Amish sexual abusers are only shunned by the church for six weeks, a punishment that never seems to work. After I was assaulted by the bishop I knew I had to get help and one freezing morning in early March I made a dash for a tiny police station in rural Minnesota. After reporting the bishop I left the Amish and found myself plummeted into the strange modern world with only a second-grade education and no ID or social security card. To all abuse survivors out there, please be encouraged, the cycle of abuse can be broken. Today, I am a nursing student working towards my master's degree and a child abuse awareness activist. This is my story."

Not the normal book I would listen too but how sad how can anyone suffer so much in a life time, the cruelty of people in the world especially to the young and vulnerable really makes you wonder, this book was so sad. Well done to Misty Griffen for telling her story and always listen to your instincts and report to the the athorities the narrator was first class.

loved reading this book. definitely opened my eyes to the Armish . I find that there is so much child abuse going on in this world. so much more than others realise. The story was very well written and well dictated. Definitely worth a read. I hope Misty and her family have a very successful life and hope that her story continues to give the Armish children strength and hope that they too can change their lives if ever they wish to.

The book is so well written and it grips you from the first letter to the last..

Tears of the silenced by M Griffin & C campbell
It certainly gave me an opportunity to understand someone that is Amish. Cannot believe that they hold young girls is such low estime. But even the police were xso reluctant to get involved, and mothers allowed it to go on. Very good an eye opener for me. Will certainly look into the ways they treat their daughters.

Author is definitely dedicated
The performance as great. The author has edited out details, as she tells you at end. Misty, I think too many people judged you into taking out content. Its my only critique. The content seems absolutely legit, but I think the author edited out a bit too much, due to comments from people who found if easy to judge her. And she has to add things to defend herself from unknowing people. Which is silly. Cause people can say someone should do something but that don't make it possible. I found this book easy to read and written in a flowing manner, I recommend it. And i send strength out to anyone in any similar situation.

Incredible story. Wonderful narration.
This is a tremendous book. I agree with your old English professor. You made me feel like I was there. The book was very well written, and the narrator was terrific. A bad narrator kills a good book.
Is your original much longer e-book available anywhere? A lot of your audience would be interested in it. Congratulations on your powerful 5 star book.

A story of tragedy and triumph over evil.
Every person needs to experience this book, listen to the tragic story of Misty Griffin and others who've suffered at the hands of the evil adults in their lives. Misty's experience is gut wrenching and at times hard to stomach. But her mission to raise awareness is a very real need. I suffered at the hands of my father when I was 12. Although I did not experience anything close to the horrors that Misty did, I lived for years with the survivors guilt that plagues us all. I hope that listeners can experience Misty's story and use it to save just one child victim, or if you are a victim, have the courage to tell someone.

Amish pedophiles? Who knew?!
I thought this was a true crime detective type book, but there was no mystery. The only mystery was why law enforcement does not take seriously the words of a child.
I enjoyed the narration and the story was good. There were no lulls. I didn’t wanted it to end.

Eye Opening, Very Interesting Read
This book was very written and edited. The author did a great job at telling her story in a way that keeps your attention and explains this tremendously well. Had never read a book about the Amish, and this may have not been a good first choice. But I am not naive to the fact that I have some Amish acquaintances that I know are in a good place and a good community. However, if this is indeed a prevalent issue and happening, I shudder to think about all of those innocent children or people that are possibly getting abused sexually. My heart and prayers go out to anyone that is dealing with this abuse. I will definitely keep my eyes open to this. 😥
