About this listen

Living in the shadows isn’t the safest place to be… it’s where secrets are buried and predators lurk..

As the youngest child living within a dysfunctional family, I thought that anger, rivalry and hatred were the norm, that every family possessed dirty little secrets they hid from the world… like alcohol and drug addiction, mental and physical abuse, depression, schizophrenia and suicide. Surviving those dirty little secrets while running from the school bully was hard, but it was nothing in comparison to coming up on the radar of the neighbourhood paedophile.

Heartfelt and honest story worth reading

I read a lot of memoirs or rather I listen to a lot of of them. I live how the story takes you back and forth thru the author and her mother’s history. I also appreciate it when the author doesn’t only take a victim “poor me” POV, even when they I have gone through hell. Audible plus to save money and a lot of times the memoirs that are included with membership are narrated with virtual voice. The effectiveness of the virtual narration is hit or miss. Regardless, there’s always a few glitches and strange pronunciations with the virtual voice.
