Summary:
"The unforgettable
memoir
of a family betrayed by a cruel deception. Pauline Dakin, a well-known CBC journalist, spent her
childhood
on the
run
. Without warning or goodbyes, her mother twice uprooted her and her brother, moving thousands of miles away from family and friends. Years later her mother revealed they'd been running from the Mafia and were receiving protection from a covert anti-organized crime task force. When her mother decided to go into protective custody, an exhausted Dakin planned to disappear as well. But before that happened, she made a horrifying discovery. Her family's strange existence was based on a bizarre hoax, a web of lies manufactured by trusted loved ones. As she revisits her past, Dakin uncovers the human capacity for betrayal and deception, and the power of love to forgive. A
memoir
of a
childhood
steeped in unexplained fear and menace. As compelling and twisted as a thriller, an unforgettable portrait of a family under threat and the resilience of family bonds. Pauline Dakin is an assistant professor at the University of King's College School of Journalism in Halifax. A journalist who has worked in radio, television, and print, she was also a senior producer for CBC Nova Scotia and host of CBC Radio's Atlantic Voice. Born in North Vancouver, B.C., she has also lived in Winnipeg, Manitoba and Saint John, New Brunswick and is now based in Halifax, Nova Scotia"--Provided by publisher.
