Insanity on the Road to Glory
"A finely crafted narrative, worthy of serious readers."-The Greensboro News & Record "Estie Culler Bennington's memoir grabbed me from the start.  A powerful and inspiring account told through the eyes of a little girl. This is no self-indulgent autobiography.  It's a finely crafted narrative, worthy of serious readers.""Stranger than fiction" -The High Point Enterprise"Book profiles woman's early years with schizophrenic father.  Estie Bennington's first book would make a great novel, except for one thing - it's not fiction.  It's amemoir.  It tells a fascinating chapter from the early years of Bennington's life.                  Writer's Digest Judges ReviewThis is a harrowing story, powerfully told.  The book brings strongly in mind Jeanette Walls's bestselling THE GLASS CASTLE.Mrs. Bennington does a terrific job portraying her insane, violent father, her submissive yet strong mother, and the children who had to cope with it all. I always appreciate when a memoirist uses dialogue freely, because it brings so much immediacy to the story.  The author does a good job in this respect.  Vivid, compelling.Overall, a truly remarkable story of faith, hope and love in the face of horrifying odds.
