Caution: This memoir contains nightmares and toxic secrets.

Your kids are through high school and onto college and you've patted yourself on the back because of the good choices they made and that their young lives were free from predators.

But then your daughter, she's the elder of the two, steps up to say she's tired of keeping a secret that has been gnawing at her for sixteen years. As she tells her story, you recall an old saying but with a new twist: Keep your friends close, but keep your family closer. You realize also that the old Stranger Danger campaign of old was a distraction. Inside your family was where real danger lurked those many years ago.
