I have tried three times to read this one. The writing style sucks eggs in my opinion. I have read the first two chapters three times trying to see what her story line is. Like trying to read tea-leaves. SOme might like it. I didn't get it.

RE: The Truth Book.
Jeff, I agree. The first 4 or 5 chapters are hard to understand. The problem is, she goes back and forth in time, without explaining where she is at the moment, and you have to read a few paragraphs to grasp where she is in time at that moment. I wish she didn't start her book that way, because it makes her look like she isn't a good writer, and that it won't be an interesting read. However, once you get past the first few chapters, I promise you, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO PUT THE BOOK DOWN.
It is her true story, and once you see how she and her brother were treated by their elder step father, and also her mother, you'll be glad you read the book. She is a teacher in a college now, and it's amazing that she was able to have a normal life after the abuse she went through in her childhood. My hat's off to her, and her brother.
Please trust me on this one. Try it again. She doesn't jump around as much in the later chapters, and when she does, you'll understand her way of writing by then, and it won't be so confusing.
Sincerely, and with due respect....
Hubert
