Leah (dedikált példány)

Fülszöveg

Leah's story—the calamity, the dramatic roller coasters, and even the horror—are documented in detailed

Her mother, Lillian, is a driving force behind the tragedy that steadily befalls her daughter. She is evil and intolerant, cold and conniving. Therefore, as Leah descriptively recalls her most tragic life, she is faced with a cold reality: the only way to put herself at peace is to kill her mother. This drama is gripping, and in that way enables readers to use the book as a mirror into their own lives and difficulties.
