Customer Reviews

A Woman of Courage

Although it was hard for me to read this book because of how tragic these events were, it was a privilege to do so. I went to school with the late Ann's youngest daughter for three years and I never knew it, even though i had heard ann's story. Mrs. Hovda is truly a person to look up to and admire and this book makes even a complete stranger feel that. I have seen first hand what a great mother she has been by listening to her daughter's wonderful comments and stories about her. I encourage every one who reads this to purchase this book or at least check it out at your local library.

Very True Account

Being related to the person who committed this horable act and whitnessing his abuse of wonderful Ann and her girls makes us wonder why we were not able to stop this insane act. We truly feel the pain that Becky and the other victums suffered. This book is a must in hopes that it will prevent even one more act of violence.

Riveting Book!

This is a book which should be read by everyone. In today's society the far-reaching effects of an incident like this need to be understood by all. It reaches so many people who arae not even connected with the perpetrator or the victims. Extremely well written and has a message for all. It is sort of a cause and effect situation. Cause being the reason all this happened nd the effect on hundreds of people. Read it--you'll not be able to put it down.

Domestic Violence & its far reaching effects - A True Story

I recently had the opportunity to purchase and read her gripping story of survival. Ms. Hovda's compelling book speaks to something often overlooked in the violence happening all around us. Speaking throughout the year on the subject of Domestic Violence, I feel her book vividly illustrates the far reaching effects of such violent acts. One Shot A Thousand Holes, is much more than one person's struggle for survival, and the devastation caused by such a tragedy. Through Ms. Hovda's words, and those of her family, the reader is able to glimpse into her pain-filled journey, and discover profound and lasting effects of such a tragedy on family and friends, as well as the lessons learned and the gifts received on her road to recovery.Many people who have read One Shot A Thousand Holes, have shared a similar reaction to the book--once started, it is difficult to put it down. I want to applaud and thank Rebecca for having the courage to write her story and for bringing Domestic Violence awareness to the forefront. Larry Nicholas
