Wayne

by Wayne Theodore

When Wayne Theodore was six years old, he promised himself that one day he would tell. He would let the world know the terrible things his father had done. When he was grown, Wayne kept his promise. Appearing with his brothers and sisters on the nationally syndicated TV program The Sally Show, he exposed one of the most brutal and shocking cases of child abuse ever recorded in the state of Massachusetts. It became the top-rated, most asked program in the show's twenty-year history. Now for the first time, Wayne reveals the riveting details of the story that shocked the nation-a story that will stun you with its ugliness and uplift you with its powerful message of courage and hope.
