Date: 16 Jul 2008 CommentsI have read both books and found them to be inspirational, sad, moving, real, brave, and an important contribution to society. As a regestered nurse in a Boston Newborn ICU, I have witnessed people in terrible situations; who feel there is no hope and no way out. Over the years, domestic violence has become more exposed, yet still remains a dangerous and secret situation for many. This should be required reading for high school students; so they can be aware, understand and possibly prevent this cycle from continuing. WE owe that to our future generations. On a more personal note, Becky is my cousin. We were unaware of her situtation, and I feel sad that we didn't know. I know my father (her maternal uncle) would have intervened and put a stop to Bob. Silence is domestic violence's best friend. I recently had the pleasure of seeing Becky again after so many years. I am so very proud of her, and feel she is an inspiration for us all. Uncle "R" would be thrilled about the contribrutions you are making in the lives of others. He believed all little girls were the greatest gifts of this world. My best to you and Ted... continue to take care of each other. Love, Bon :) Date: 14 Jul 2008 CommentsREVIEW FOR THE DOOR OF FAÇADE How many of us wear a social mask, putting forth the façade, the face of what we want others to see? The title of this novel is well suited to the story itself. From the moment that sweet young Becky meets handsome and rich Bob Dillough, she’s swept along on a romantic tsunami that promises she’ll live happily ever after. Becky’s “prince”, however, is far from perfect. Although Bob wines and dines his young bride, he is severely flawed. He drinks too much, lies, cheats on Becky and has more excuses than a tardy high school student. As Bob’s behavior turns increasingly violent, Becky starts looking for a way out of her predicament, even though she is assailed by guilt for her failing marriage. I held my breath when Bob literally shoved a gun into Becky’s face! For a few terrible moments, her life hung in the balance. Thankfully, Becky was able to escape Bob’s clutches and this book is a strong statement against domestic violence and abuse in all its forms. What makes The Door of Façade all the more compelling is that it is a true story - Becky’s story. I can’t wait to read her second novel to learn the good news! Ann B. Keller, Author/Screenwriter Date: 27 May 2008 CommentsExcellent web site! There are so many good contact numbers and sources here, as well as poems, news alerts, blogs and testimonials. Not only does the site bring us a little closer to the author, Becky Conrad, but also shows many the way out of their own abusive situation. Many already extend a hand toward those in need; the victims need only to reach for it. Ann B. Keller, Author/Screenwriter Date: 20 May 2008 CommentsGreat website! The links for phone numbers and the emergency & safety plans are awesome! The books The Door of Façade and A Better Day Dawning are definitely worth the time to read. Becky continues to be an inspiration to all of us that have found ourselves in any form of a domestic violence situation, verbal, mental or physical. Becky writes from her heart hoping that someone will be saved from what she went through. If one person gets out of a bad situation we have cause to rejoice. Becky is a very courageous person! God Bless! Ellie Date: 28 Sep 2007 CommentsHi, This is one of the best websites I have found! Thank you for so much valuable information. Keep up the great work you are doing. K.W.

Useful information. Go on! Date: 28 Nov 2006 CommentsGreat website! I added it to my favorites!!! Date: 14 Oct 2006 CommentsBecky's first book is a real "eye-opener" and a "page-turner." She holds nothing back and anyone who reads it, can learn from it and hopefully get out of their abusive relationship and get a better life. I know I did. Thanks, Becky. Elizabeth Date: 03 Oct 2006 CommentsI have read both books cover to cover and enjoyed them a great deal. I am glad that Mrs. Conrad had the courage to write both books that may help so many women. She is truly an inspiration! Date: 03 Oct 2006 CommentsI read your 1st book and feel your pain as I have suffered some of the same things from a controlling husband. I took some steps to improve the situation but also took him back after a short separation due to my Pastor, my family and my friends telling me that I should give him another chance and it's what God meant to be (no divorce). The physical abuse has stopped but the emotional and verbal abuse continues. The bad memories that I thought would go away are still with me. I am so unhappy, feel so alone and "stuck" in a situation that I'll never get out of. I'm now disabled and can't work to support myself so I see no way out. I admire your strength to move on and away from where you were. I look forward to reading your 2nd book. Karen Date: 30 Sep 2006 CommentsI have read the book, and I know the author well. All is true, and much more. I have a great admiration for her. I'm so proud of all her accomplishments and she is not finished yet. I see great things and more to come in her now-nourished-life. She is more than a survivor, she is an angel, and her wings spread far. Great job, Becky. Forever, Shar Date: 28 Sep 2006 CommentsI just wanted to let you know Doreen visited. I love your site. I can't wait to get started reading both of your books. You are a great teacher and are very inspirational. I can't wait till the next workshop in October. Date: 22 Sep 2006 CommentsI can't wait to read your new book out. I am planning on getting to your Carrollton book signing tomorrow. I loved your first book so I am sure I will love this one. I couldn't put the first one down until I was done. I am so very proud of you. You are a wonderful person with a big heart and I am very glad I have the privilege of calling you friend. Diann Date: 22 Aug 2006 Comments"The Door of Facade" was a blessing in my life. I was going through the fear, confusion, and trauma of leaving my abusive husband, when this book was given to me. I recommend this book to anyone who has self doubt of leaving an abusive relationship. If it wasn't for Becky and her story, I know that the place that I would be in right now would be very dark and lonely. Best Wishes to all who have endured some form of abusive, Amanda Date: 12 Aug 2006 CommentsKate (wife #2) gave me the book to read. My heart hurt for her and for Becky when I read what type of person this man was behind closed doors. The fact that they both survived and discovered real love is truly a miracle. Although it was difficult to read, I believe it was accurate. The author writes as though the events are happening as you read it. Sometimes I had to put the book down and walk away - it was so intense. Date: 31 Jul 2006 CommentsYour book has helped me figure many things out. I hope that people read it even if they may not be going through what some of us have, or think that they maybe going through it. It will teach you so much and I think people need to be aware of Domestic violence and the seriousness of it. Date: 30 Jul 2006 CommentsThe Door of Facade is a very touching book about the abuses women face on a daily basis. The author is very courageous to have escaped her abuse. She shows many others that it is possible to escape as well. I anticipate the publication of the next book to discover how she could recover and rebuild after such an experience. The authors website provides a wealth of knowledge for those in need of help and someone to reach out to. Sherry Date: 24 Jul 2006 CommentsWhat a great and informative website!
