Reviews from Amazon.com:

"... It takes a strong person to stand up against this system and not become discouraged. You will
feel deeply for Pat Carroll and he tries to rescue his children and find justice in an unjust system. He
does eventually prevail, but the cost is high and this book clearly illustrates the dedication required to win.
People interested in fathers rights, children's rights and justice at any level should read this to understand
what you should expect and the toll it will take to do what is right..."

-Harold McFarland

"... Watching one's children die as they stand by powerless - one of the most horrifying thoughts to any
parent. Rabies Mom is Pat Caroll's story of watching as his daughter Shannon died from a rabies infection
as he mother did nothing - and her neglect ultimately ended up in her death. He tells his tragic story
revealing that it is not always the wisest response for the legal system to default to the mother in areas of child custody..."

Review from the National Speleological Society:

"...Rabies Mom is a father's account of the agony experienced in watching his 10-year-old daughter
slowly die before his eyes. It is a story of shattered hopes and bitter anguish, of accepting guilt
and assigning blame. Tragically, it is not a unique story..."

-Danny A. Brass
