This is the story I was told never to speak of-and I didn't-until now! We were a seemingly perfect family. With a mom, a dad, and five beautiful little girls. But behind closed doors it was anything but. He wasn't our dad, and she wasn't our mom-or at least, not the mom we had known in the past. For seven years he would reign over our household, leaving a trail of shattered souls, murderous rampages, and a missing child in the wake of his destruction. He was a monster in every sense of the word, and there was no escaping his psychopathic actions. His brutality would maim, shatter, and destroy an entire family. You, as my readers, will walk this unforgettable journey with me as I finally share my forbidden story, and perhaps you can help solve a mystery that has haunted me for more than four decades. This is a self-help book like no other as Tote returns with yet another amazing memoir, while she engages her audience in a way that only she can. In a soothingly conversational tone, she confides in her readers as they become her dearest friends and confidants throughout her shattered childhood and to the triumphant ending no one could have ever seen coming!
