Don’t Just Sit There: A True Account of a Frightening Experience and a Self-Help Book for Women
THE STORY WAS VERY WELL WRITTEN, AND A LITTLE SCARY, BECAUSE IT HITS SO CLOSE TO HOME. NOT ONLY THAT, I PERSONALLY KNEW THE AUTHOR, ALTHOUGH NOT AT THE TIME OF THE ASSAULT AGAINST HER. THIS BOOK NEEDS TO BE READ BY EVERYONE, BECAUSE SOMETHING THAT SHE DID MIGHT HELP IN THE EVENT THAT THIS HAPPENS TO THEM. I REALLY ENJOYED IT.

As I read this book, I could visualize what happened to her. That is the meaning of a good book, pulling in the readers, keeping them, showing them you are just like them, with a life and problems, joys and sorrows. I could see her being terrified, yet smart enough to keep her wits enough to collect evidence against her attacker. I saw her at work, enjoying friends, who supported her, struggling to get enough sleep, and dealing with not only what happened, but facing continued contact with this creep. I wish I could say I would think about the beer bottle, the panty hose and the smarts not to turn to look at license plates, but I probably would not have done those things that show how bright she is. My gut feeling is that if Perry Mason could read this he would be proud.

I liked this book, it is a neat little story about taking matters
into your own hands and fighting back. Although it was not as
dramatic and inspiring as another book I recently read about survivors, A Reason To Live: The True Story of One Woman’s Love, Courage and Determination To Survive, I do recommend it as interesting reading. It is time all of us take a stand against these sexual perverts, and this book is a good manual for that.
THOUSANDS OF WOMEN NEVER EVEN PICK UP THE PHONE AFTER A BRUTAL ASSAULT AGAINST THEM, LEAVING FAR TOO MANY VICIOUS CRIMINALS FREE TO CONTINUE TO DO AS THEY PLEASE. THIS IS THE STORY OF ONE WOMANS BATTLE, STARTING WHEN SHE WAS ATTACKED AND KIDNAPPED, AND AT THE MERCY OF A MADMAN FOR HOURS. IT COVERS EVERYTHING SHE ENDURED ON THAT HORRIBLE NIGHT, THROUGH TO THE MOMENT THE VERDICT WAS READ AT THE SECOND OF TWO TRIALS THAT TOOK PLACE. IT CONTAINS ALL OF THE THINGS THAT SHE DID TO PRODUCE THE FINAL RESULTS. DON’T ALLOW THE CRIMINALS TO TAKE OVER OUR PEACEFUL TOWNS AND NEIGHBORHOODS…DO SOMETHING TO TRY TO AT LEAST SLOW THEM DOWN. MAKE THAT IMPORTANT FIRST PHONE CALL TO REPORT THE CRIME, THEN FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE JUDICIAL PROCESS.
Fans of suspense thrillers and true crime, all women everywhere from 8 to 80 will find the hair on the back of their necks standing on end reading “Don’t Just Sit There.” Men who read this book will get a tiny glimpse into the atrocities perpetrated on women across the country everyday. Not only is this an intense, page turning read, the message can not be over emphaszed. Easily something within the pages of this book could literally save your life, or that of someone you love. What more motivation could you need to read it?
L.A. Wilson has given the reader a front row seat into the ordeal that changed her life. Based on factual events, the book relates the horrific kidnapping, sexual assualt and her six month journey through the system. From that awful night she was abducted at knife point til the jury foreman read the verdict, she shares it all. An engrossing and unflinching story that took me on a roller coater ride of emotions. Fear, anger, determination, combined with healing, finding new love, a little humor amid the horror, and finally stepping into the dawn of a new day as a new woman…..
Wilson refused to be victimized in silence and with this powerful book, she compels others, to fight for the justice they deserve. “Don’t Just Sit There” has opened my eyes and touched my soul in profound ways. I commend Ms. Wilson for her courage. The same strength and grace that sustained her through this ordeal is conveyed to the reader in her words. This is one of those very rare books that stays in your mind long after it has been returned to the shelf. Which is a testament to the power of the story, as well as, the expert way it was crafted and delivered.
Happy Reading!
