I claim authorship of this book as a tribute to the five-year-old child who carried our secrets for seventy years. She held them even from me as I continued to grow up, leaving her behind. She was the one who guarded the truth until the day I finally heard her calling for me. As I prepared to go, she tried to show me the memories. I could not listen. I had already forgotten the trauma that would shape my life, so I did not understand why I felt different from everyone else. All my life, I carried something I could not name. I hated myself and believed I did not deserve anything good — not even to be alive. I heard her once. But I did not know how to listen.”
This is a powerful true story of survival of a romance scam, emotional manipulation, trauma bonding, and the long road to healing.
