“Sally Diamond is indeed strange, or as her adoptive father would say 'socially defective'. But you will be drawn to Sally and her unfiltered honesty as you learn about her very disturbing past. The story of Sally and the people in her past is dark and full of trigger warnings – pedophilia, abduction, r*pe, abuse, extreme misogyny - `but there is also humor and love and understanding, especially as she comes to really understand who she is...The characters in this book will definitely stay with me for a long time and I will constantly ask what if Peter had done something different after his father died and what if Sally’s adoptive father had taken a different approach when he first encountered her?”

“A completely compelling story and perfect narration combine to make this a must-listen audio book! When Sally Diamond's father dies, she takes his directive to, 'just put me out with the rubbish' seriously. Shortly after her mistake is discovered, listeners begin to find out the past trauma that Sally faced which has formed her quirky personality. This is the kind of audio book that will have the listener looking for chores, errands, or long walks in order to keep listening. Brilliant novel! ”

“Shocking, disturbing, and utterly original.” —Paula Hawkins, #1 New York Times bestselling author
This “haunting and poignant tale, one that won’t be easy to forget any time soon” (Mystery and Suspense Magazine), follows an enigmatic woman confronting her unknown past—from internationally bestselling author Liz Nugent.
Reclusive Sally Diamond is thrust into the media spotlight when she tries to incinerate her dead father, causing widespread outrage. Now she’s the center of attention, not only from hungry reporters and police detectives, but also a sinister voice from a past she does not remember. As she begins to discover the repressed memories of her horrific early childhood, Sally steps into the world for the first time, making new friends, big decisions, and learning that people don’t always mean what they say.
But who is the man observing Sally from the other side of the world, and why does he call her Mary? And why does her new neighbor seem to be obsessed with her? Sally’s trust issues are about to be severely challenged in this “truly incredible reading experience” (Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times bestselling author).
