Aprašymas

Catherine was twelve years old standing on a sidewalk with a duffle bag of clothes as she looked at the home behind her. Its front door closed as the family behind it continued to lived their lives. A family she was unwanted by because she fought to not be abused anymore. A fight that made her lose out on family, but a fight that made her abuser never to touch her again. Her horrifying childhood tragedy was over but the emotional, mental and psychological abuse from her own family was only beginning.
Running away, friendships, relationships, motherhood, reconnections and heartaches, all while living a lifetime of shame, secrets and silence. Depression, PTSD and repressed memories at the age of forty-five, sending her straight to her hometown police department. Bringing the readers for a rollercoaster ride of emotions, atmospheres and right into the scene they are reading.
What did detectives find in Catherine's childhood home? Who is the monstrous predator her birth mother harbored? How long can family secrets stay buried? What is life like growing up a statistic in a world full of abused children? My name is Catherine Mellen and this is my continuing life story.
