To state that this book was phenomenal would be an understatement.

Betz-Hamilton leads the reader through the gripping retelling of her troubled childhood in a home that saw her encouraged to hide behind closed curtains, mail pilled high from the purchases racked up by an unknown assailant �� the identity thief.

I will not hide from you the weight that this story carries; it is incredibly sad. As one works their way through the history of the ruin which was the family home, it does not escape one how utterly trapped young Betz-Hamilton must have felt, knowing that the two people who were set to protect her from the world, never found the words to explain that danger that lurks in the mind; ambitions of perverse inclinations are just as malevolent as the ones that circle communities, from which she was kept at bay.

My great thanks go to the author for having the courage & wit to piece together a tragic story. I cannot begin to fathom how one is expected to rebuild a life that one was never given the chance to enjoy, to begin with. The writing style employed in this book was beautiful. I read through this book in record time; every chapter left me desirous to solve the mystery.

I would encourage this book to be read. It’s a breathtakingly sad story but one which requests the reader to pause in their attempt to comprehend actions, neglect & relationships.

True stories can be tragic. Life can be mysterious & overwhelmingly difficult to understand.
