For 50 years, this memoir was struggling to be a novel, even several novels. The truth contained in it was hard won and belongs as a memoir of a woman who survives a horrific family life of death and destruction, crime and scandal. Through her faith, art, music, and writing and the help of teachers, therapists and others, she was able to search and find the truth of the dark mysteries surrounding her life, which has helped change the grief and fear into love and joy. It is the story of an evil matriarch, a woman later judged as dangerous even psychopathic who fits herself into society until she lashes out and destroys those around her, including her own family. The children of this family perish or become so damaged they can hardly function like the rest of society. It is the story of survival, success, and a deep search for truth, justice and love.
