Book Cover & Preview Text
Once I was completely undressed and standing in the corner of the room, against the wall attempting to cover my breast and at this age, my hairy crotch, she made me put my arms down, then proceeded to question me about whether or not I was sexually active. I kept denying that I was, because I was not. She then looked me up and down, called me a Slut which was a switch up from my usual nickname, Bitch, and told me to get dressed, which I did. She retreated back downstairs with daddy and my brother like nothing ever happened.

About the Book
On the outside we looked like an ordinary middle class black family, but we were anything but. Right under the nose of daddy, my mother carefully orchestrated our double lives from the time we were born; lives we are still living and relationships we are still honoring as adults. The heaviest weight of all of this was the thought of the consequence if we got caught in the lie. My mother would tell us that if daddy ever found out he would kill her. The deception peppered with the domestic violence episodes we witnessed ultimately caused us both to suffer emotionally. Only a few were the wiser of the deception that we were living out, and the others just suspected. Until now.
