If you've seen the movie on Lifetime, you must read the book. There is far more background to Kenneth Z. Taylor than the movie portrays. An excellent account of what happened in Manalapan, NJ back in the '80's.

feel so bad for the family that lost their sister and daughter as far as I am concerned that man(monster) can rot in that prison and I hope that his son never wants to find him
