Summary: Laughter,Sorrow,Tears!!!
Review:
D'Haene's book Fathers Touch has all the active ingredients of a
bestseller! Suspense, laughter, tears and makes you the reader
feal like you are right there with the D'Haene family living the
horror they had to live. I have read all kinds of books fiction,
non-fiction, children's stories and Fathers Touch has got the
goods. The sad part is that it is not Fiction which proves that yes truth is stranger than fiction!!
Amazingly D'Haene deals with life through laughter. How many of us would
survive what this family has? After reading this book I realize that
yes it is truly does takes a community to raise a child, and the community in which the D'Haene's lived did not take care of their own. Society failed them so now is the time for us to
take a stand. Let's raise our children together and make it safe for them to live in our society. Let's not fail anymore children whether it be at school, at home, or in the courts.

Summary: Amazing Read!!!
Review: As a survivor myself I have read many books by fellow survivors and other experts in the field of sexual abuse. Donald's rendition of his story however, is the most moving and thought provoking one that I have read. The clash of culture between religion and law and the frank disclosure of how even those perceived to be the best among us, simply refuse to get involved with difficult situations, should move and challenge everyone to examine our personal perceptions and make sure we are seeing the world as it is, rather than as we want it to be.

Summary: Father's Touch
Review: Father's Touch is a poignant, heart wrenching memoir about endurance, survival and triumph over a childhood filled with child sexual abuse. From beginning to end this book will transport you on an incredible journey; you will not be able to put it down. Donald D'Haene addresses male sexual abuse, the least talked about and least recognized of all of the abuses against children. In speaking out Donald gives permission to all male survivors of this terrible crime; not only to speak but also healing and living life to the fullest is a reality. Donald D'Haene is a hero to all survivors of child sexual abuse, but especially to males. He takes away the shame and the blame and focuses it where it belongs - the perpetrators of this vile crime. Father's Touch swings the door wide open to freedom.

Summary: When real life is more unthinkable than your worse nightmare
Review: For an entire family to endure oppression and sexual abuse by a father - the protector - is unthinkable. Though, as Donald D'Haene sets out early in his book, "Fathers Touch", it does happen and unfortunately, probably more often than we know.
Danald's life story is not only of physical and sexual abuse, but also of religious oppression. It's quite obvious Donald's and his siblings abuse could have stopped, years earlier, if it were not for the secret system of the Jehovah's Witnesses.
"Father's Touch" will keep you wanting to know what's around the corner on the next page.

Thank you Donald for sharing with us your pain and your survival.

Summary: Lost childhood
Review: Whan an excellent book. Donald D'Haene is a fantastic author and I look forward to reading his next book. This book is going to open a lot of doors for the children who are still suffering. Donald will get a chance to live his lost childhood through the lives of the children this book is going to help and will also be an inspiration to the adults who are still hurting because of the secrets they hold onto. This book shows how a survivor turned his negative and horrid childhood into something positive. What a brave and gracious person you are Donald D'Haene.
