Delivered from Evil: True Stories of Ordinary People Who Faced Monstrous Mass Killers and Survived ReviewYour life can change in an instant. Life is fragile. Be productive. Make your life meaningful. Make your family proud. Life must go on. It has to. My dad was 12 years old the morning of September, 6 1949, when his world would be forever altered. Life as he knew it was over. As he hid in an upstairs closet, his father, mother and grandmother were brutally slaughtered along with 10 other victims. Thirteen dead, many wounded, with repercussions still felt today, 61 years later. The story of my dad, like the stories of all of the survivors in this book, is that life must go on. Will it ever be the same, will the pre-violence innocence ever be restored? What is the legacy passed onto the children of these survivors? Was it a deep dark family secret that held shame and created a legacy of fear? How does life go on after unthinkable tragedy.
Ron Franscell captured the essence of each of the survivors' voices in this unique and well researched homage to the spirit of human resilience. I can attest to the accuracy of my dad's story because I watched the level of detail that Ron absorbed for his story alone. My dad had crammed 60 years of history into a suitcase that held newspaper clippings from the darkest days of his life. My dad saved clippings about his own unthinkable tragedy, but he also would save stories about other killings over the decades. He felt the pain of the survivors each time another event unfolded in the news. He would call his kids and say, "did you hear about....., are you ok? Be safe."
My dad wanted his story told, not for the public recognition, but for educational purposes. He wanted people to know that survivors are among us and life does go on beyond the tragedy. His life was a testament to a life lived with purpose and conviction. Ron Franscell gained my father's trust after many months of being phone buddies. My dad would call Ron when oh yet another mass shooting would take place. Ron and my dad became friends.
There are 10 survivor stories in this book. Each one horrific and mind bending. The thread that runs through each of them is that these people survived and even thrived in the face of the most unimaginable tragedies and horror. Life does go on. It must. Sadly, for my dad, he did not live to see this book published. Ron and my dad never met in person. The week Ron came out to interview my dad on what was the 60th anniversary of the murders, turned out instead to be the day we buried my dad. He had a massive stroke as Ron was driving cross country to meet him. He and Ron were going to visit the site on Sept 6, 2009. Instead, Ron attended my dad's funeral and comforted my family in our loss and confusion. But life does go on. It has to.
