THROUGH THE CRIMSON MIRROR

Through the Crimson Mirror is a no-holds-barred look at growing up in today’s world. It is a story that is not often told – that of parenting from a child’s point of view. A roller coaster of emotions awaits readers as the author chronicles the highs and many lows of his life. It blends sound research and experience with gentle storytelling to show parents the effect their parenting has on their children.

Daniel Dinnie wrote Through the Crimson Mirror inspired by his life’s journey so far, while growing up in dysfunction. He opens up his life in order to help others better understand the human condition, and ultimately prevent other children from growing up the way he did. His aim is to help parents notice the signs of dysfunction. More importantly, to do something about it before it is too late. In addition, to tell others who grew up lonely, or in imperfect circumstances, that they are not alone.

Dinnie spares no feelings in the quest to tell the truth. Many of the topics dealt with are visceral. He rreveals a world deep down within ourselves: a side of life about which we do not speak often. The topics will challenge your beliefs and social conventions. If you take this journey with the author, you may better understand yourself, and problems you have had, as well as your children.

Through the Crimson Mirror is written as a trilogy with each of the books containing about 150 pages. The chapters are short and punchy, making the information easy to absorb and therefore an ideal read for busy parents. It is not a light-hearted read, though. Many of the topics dealt with are of an adult nature. For this reason, the books come with a warning for children under the age of 13. However, all teenagers who read it should do so with parental supervision.

The first of the three books deals primarily with, defining parenting, education, communication, and secret and lies. The stronger content is in the second book and takes a realistic look at relationships, sex, family planning, health and mental illness, as well as addiction.

The price is about R100, varying slightly depending on the outlet.
