Book excerpt: This is the true life story of Chrissie; walk with this little girl hand in hand from her childhood into early adolescence through the streets of Brooklyn, New York, through the 70's and into the 80's. At the same time, you will walk with her hand in hand through her home, its dark dysfunctionality, the terror and the morbid experiences and situations she is thrust into. Ultimately understanding why she unequivocally loathes the people that most people call family, and what molded Chrissie into a tough trite and true New Yorker. What began as a therapeutic task, quickly bloomed into a story the grown-up Chrissie found compelled to tell in its entirety, so she could rid herself of the insanity, horror, fear and guilt that has haunted and shaped her life since childhood.
