Prologue
I grew up in a house of lies. They seemed to grow on the trees that surrounded our house and float through the air that we breathed. No one seemed to notice them but me. And I hated them. But instead of changing my life for the better, I ended up turning out like the people that I hated most.
Instead of fighting them, I clung to the lies that were told to us, as if they were a security blanket I could wrap myself up in and hide away for all eternity.
I have already lost so much due to lies that I chose to live with, and lies that I chose to create. I have lost all that mattered to me, because I was to weak to hold onto the most precious things in my life.
I lost my husband to an awful death in a deep, dark mountainside. That I could not have changed, but I could have changed things so that he knew that I loved him. I have also lost my daughter. And that loss was one that I chose. I pushed her away from me, made her hate me so that she would never ever want me again.
And I lost myself. I lost myself to greed and lust and to the promise of fame that never came my way. I did so many things to try and get the fame I thought I so deserved. I did many disgusting things that I never want to think of again.
And as I sit here writing all this out, the only thought that keeps reverberating inside my head now, is the thought that maybe if I explain everything honestly and truthfully, my daughter will accept me, and want me to be her mother again.
