TV GUIDE gave FORGIVING TROY a RAVE. This is from SOAP OPREA DIGEST:
Thom, now a highly respected painter, has survived the unfathomable: His mentally ill brother, Troy, beat their mother to death with a baseball bat.
Then another Bierdz brother killed himself. "Murder, madness, and suicide are my family's legacy to me; but they also taught me love, faith, and forgiveness," Thom writes in his preface.
This is fascinating profoundly moving stuff, and it all takes a metaphysical turn when Thom gets a message from his dead mom through a psychic - a message that ultimately allows him to face his killer brother in jail and begin the process of healing.
You can buy the book via Thom's Web site @ ThomBierdz.com
