"In this terrifying, haunting, and controversial memoir,award-winning journalist Meredith Maran delves into the fascinatingsubject of the recovered memory movement... Maran's not justshockingly honest, she's also funny. Her refusal to whitewash herown behavior, her fierce ability to expose all sides of the issue(she doesn't deny that horrific abuse does occur and should bepunished), and her compassion for the abused as well as those stillfalsely imprisoned as abusers opens up a dialogue about memory,belief, and past- and present-day culture that is as riveting as itis important." ( Boston Globe, September 21, 2010) "Maran's story is so tension-filled that I want to keep some ofthe twists out of this review, allowing readers of this remarkablebook to discover them apart from me." (San FranciscoChronicle, September 19, 2010)
