She  starts writing a letter to a person from her past and finds that she  can\u2019t stop. As she talks about her childhood and her teenage years, a  story unfolds that not even she fully comprehends. Marla\u2019s mother is  pathologically focused on winning back Marla\u2019s father, a troubled  alcoholic with a charming fa\u00e7ade, and uses the trust and love of the  people around her to this end. Marla, however, wants nothing to do with  her father and finds herself caught in the middle of her neglectful  mother\u2019s plans.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you happen to order a copy and get it read before me, feel free to stop by and share your review!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div><span class=\"kt-load-after-post\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had meant to not only mention this novel by Tara Overzat, but also pick up a copy of the eBook when it was released in the early part of April.
