Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I, April (deSilva) Miller, am the daughter of Doug deSilva. I'm writing this review because the book depicts my dad, Douglas deSilva, to be some horrible monster. Kaye had fabricated this book with Tony Windsor, who is an editor for the local paper that broke and covered this story. I called him back in the day and gave him a piece of my mind several times. Obviously, because they were long time friends is why hew helped her write this book !! Tony couldn't keep the story straight when he covered it back in 1995. Which, in the book it mentioned it happened in 1995 and 1996. Not correct. Also, I love how they changed her boyfriend's name....not Adam, but Doug and son's name which was Nicholas not Nathan in the book to disguise their identity. But in turn, she blew my Dad's name up for the entire book that he was guilty. It wasn't until page 124 of 135 pages that she revealed he was FREE of all charges and RELEASED. I can't believe that she can sleep at night. How can you slander people. How can you write a book and not have to get the consent of the other people in it....Doug deSilva, Julie Ferguson's family. THANK GOD for the DNA and the concerned citizen that was ACTUALLY the girlfriend of Mark Eskridge.....the man that actually hurt Kaye. I know I personally have never been contacted by anyone in regards to how this horrible 1995 crime affected my family. She has been on TRu TV and now most recently on the Biography channel. What else makes me so mad is the fact that the shows came out in 2009 and 2012 and the book 2011...my Dad was cleared of these charges in 1997 and Mark was CHARGED IN 2005. In 2009,before the show aired I tried contacting TruTv at least 15 times to see how my Dad played a role in the show and no one ever got back to me. The only thing my family and I see is that she is profiting from smearing my Dad's name in the mud by being in the media so much. My mom, aunts, and I didn't even want to buy this book because she will get more money. But we had to read it to see what was said. Every time we think nothing else can be replayed about this situation another show comes out or this book!!! She forgets to mention she ran my mom, my brother, and I of the road in the trailer park, so she could yell at us. She got a petition going to get us evicted from our home, yet my Dad never lived with us in Delaware!! We had to fight to stay there when we just moved away from inner city crime in Laurel, MD and made a new life in Laurel, DE. Also, another mistake in the book was the fact the State Police arrested my Dad from the Laurel truck stop...it actually happened at my high school in Georgetown. I watched his pickup truck get towed down Route 9, the road my school was located on. Officer Doug Hudson of the DE State Police Troop 4 told me that ten police followed us from the truck stop to my school. Then, for most of my 10th grade school year I was called down to the office at my school to talk about this ordeal and many crimes that were similar. The police were trying to figure out if my Dad had committed this crime and all of the others that they were asking about. Then, of course, because I had an unusual last name, a lot of kids and people would ask me if that was my Dad!!! Then, in 1997 when I graduated I was Salutatorian of my class, my Dad didn't attend. He didn't hear my speech or see me walk across the stage. All because he was "never coming back to Delaware again". Also, it will be 10 years this April since I have heard anything from my Dad. I wish this never happened to him and my family. I also can't believe that Kaye NEVER said she was sorry to my Dad or our family. My entire family is affected by this woman's actions. There are a lot more victims in this situation than it seems. My Dad spent 15 months in jail and his step mother's money on legal fees....to PROVE he was NOT GUILTY!!! What B.S.!!!!! I'm so glad Kaye knows her son's children and their mother. My Dad doesn't even know he has a great son-in-law or a wonderful 4 year old grandson!!!
