Murder in the Children's Eyes is a true story about tragic events in the author's past. The memoir begins in 1940 and spans over twenty years. It tells how a man loves his wife, but she doesn't share his love. Instead, she has an affair with her cousin, and her husband ends up killing her. Ava Jones Burnett's father met and married a girl he was completely in love with and they had ten children. When her father could not take her cheating anymore, he shot her mother in the face with a shotgun. This personal and chilling account tells how over the years the children were mistreated and blamed for their parents' mistakes, and also how they managed to survive and rise above their shattered childhoods. The author wrote this book for her own self-esteem and to help others who have also had tragedies in their families. "My siblings and I are all in our fifties and most of us are still unable to talk about our parents. We have not even gone into details to tell our children about their grandparents. We need to get this out, look at it for what it is and was, so we can move forward." Author Bio: Ava Jones Burnett grew up in the Little Rock, Arkansas area. This is her first book.
