Hello, my name is Rozetta Mowery.  My story is true horror at it's worst! An unbelievable story that spans 6 generations...murder, incest, lies and family secrets that had been buried for decades!
 
Are you or someone you know a victim of domestic abuse/violence?  Please watch the YouTube clip of my documentary.  This is another outlet for me to warn others and to save lives.   
 
Be sure to view my documentary screening photos also.  It was a great event sponsored by Carl and Lynn Mashburn of Athens, TN.

      I want to spread the word about domestic violence and the horrible aftermath that occurred within my own family. The horrific cycle of hate and killings in my family span more than a century before I was born. My grandmother was a serial killer during the great depression and was sent to prison twice for mail fraud….no evidence could be found. I know where the bodies are and I am revealing their location in my book. She abused my father and turned him into a killer. He viciously murdered my mother in 1959 when I was 7 years old.
     I was placed in different foster homes to be raised by strangers who did not love me, and separated from my siblings, while my wealthy grandfather, whom I did not know, lived in a mansion and had a life of luxury. My mother’s love and spirit gave me the courage to overcome all the obstacles I faced during my lifetime, and there were many. I was determined to be normal and prove that even though I came from a place called Tin Can Holler, there is hope for a better life. 
     At the age of 53, after my youngest child turned 21, I quit my job, sold my home in Florida where I had lived for 32 years and left my children and grandchildren to search for information about my family and to discover the truth about my mother’s murder. My mother's spirit was calling me to return to the place of my birth and to Tin Can Holler where it all began in 1959.

I've completed the second edition of my novel “Tragedy in Tin Can Holler.” It's now available in hardback! If you liked the first edition you will love this one even more.  I included all the information that came available to me after my book was published.  A few hints include……more information about Grace and the dark side to my real grandfather Harry....yes, he had one!   Because of the thousands of requests for more information about my dad after he was released from prison, I’ve included that also.

 

The hardest thing for me was the death of my sweet brother Billy Ray in July 2007...two months after my book was published.  He never got to read our family story.  He was waiting to get cataract surgery. 
He was an avid reader and would not let any family members read the book to him. He said, "No, I'm waiting to get my cataracts removed and then I'll read it myself.”  Sadly he passed away before he received the surgery.     

 

Please order my book below for a personally autographed copy. If you have a copy of the first edition it is now a collectible!  There will be no more copies of that edition printed!

 

Thank you and God Bless,

Rozetta Mowery
