Excerpt
My
bitch of a mother has kept a secret for nineteen years. A secret from me that I
should have known from the very beginning, even before I was conscious of what
it meant. A secret from my father. From my grandparents. From everyone. A
secret that had blossomed over the years to such epic proportions that it now
threatened my very happiness. Everything good in my life was hanging on one
delicate silver strand of a web of deception. While I dangled helplessly at the
end of it like a spider in the wind. At the mercy of fate and the truth.
If
I had known the truth, my life would have been different. Would it have been
better? There was no way to know. In any case, I wouldn't have been here,
fighting for the love of my life against increasingly mounting odds.
I
balled my fist and pounded the concrete step I sat on in front of my dorm,
huddling against not just the cold air, but raw, cold, staggering emotion. My
selfish, ultra-competitive mom had kept me from joy and a happy childhood. And dragged
me through her three miserable marriages and countless other horrid
relationships. Through three mostly bastards of stepdads and no real dad.
Certainly no loving dad. I was no one's little princess.
All
the while Mom played the evil queen to my Snow White, always striving to prove
she was the fairest of them all. Fairer than I was, in any case. But then, I
hadn't tried. I had never wanted to compete with her. So I made myself plain
and invisible.
But
a one-sided competition didn't stop her. She went after my boyfriend. Slept
with him. Destroyed the best of her three marriages when my latest stepdad and
I walked in on Mom and Austin making the sign of the two-humped whale on Mom's
living room sofa. That was a sight I still couldn't fully get out of my mind.
Her
ultimate betrayal sent me running to unravel her secret—who was my biological
father? Why had she refused, all these years, to tell me, or anyone, who he
was?
I
had been hoping I had at least one biological parent who wasn't a complete
skank. I just hadn't known tearing apart the deception would be like unleashing
the evils of Pandora's box. Now, like Pandora, all I had left was a sense of
hope, and even that was ebbing.
I
wondered—without her lie, would I have ended up in this same spot, here at the
same university? Would I be the person I am? Would I have met Logan? And fallen
in love with him?
