Publisher's summary
An international serial killer is at large. Countless murdered victims are being discovered throughout England, France, and Spain. Will the killer or killers ever be caught?
SO MANY HAUNTING QUESTIONS ARE LEFT UNANSWERED
SO MANY FOOLISH MISTAKES ARE MADE
SO MANY BRUTAL KILLINGS ARE LEFT UNSOLVED
The year is nineteen eighty-five, and thirty-one-year-old Katherine looks back over her life and asks herself many challenging questions. Where do I belong? Is there any hope for me left? Can I survive another day?
Sadly, no answers to her plaguing questions come to her muddled mind.
Slumping back in a worn-out leather armchair that has seen better days, she gulps back the last of the strong Irish whiskey in her glass. A fiery liquid which she had far too much of this night. Yet, to cope with her disturbing life, she believes she needs alcohol to escape an existence that is tearing her apart daily.
Soon, she reflects on a time when she was young, beautiful, and carefree. Yet more quickly, the smile she briefly wore as she embraced a lovely memory fades away, and tears of despair fall heavily from her eyes.
Again, more questions flood her tormented mind,
“How did decisions beyond my control find me in the back of a lorry to deliver me to where I am now?”
“Will the serial killer who brutally murdered Madeline’s husband ever be caught? ”
Expelling a large breath of air held tightly in her lungs, Katherine intensely stares out the window that faces the dense and ominous woods before her.
Softly she whispers,
“One foolish mistake turned everything dreadfully wrong. How can I escape the utter madness that has become my life?”
Delve into Katherine’s chaotic world as she shares her emotional and traumatizing secret life. Assuredly, the dramatic twists and turns of a life in constant upheaval will have you wondering what will come next for this young woman who is desperate to survive one more day. Then, travel the uncertain road ahead with Katherine into a tumultuous future that will undoubtedly test her survival skills as well as her sanity.

Story
In an all too familiar scenario, played out in millions of homes every day, children who grow up in addictive families abide by certain rules: don't talk, don't trust, don't feel.
