A SHOCKING 1989 QUADRUPLE FAMILY MURDER AND THE LITTLE GIRL LEFT BEHIND TO TELL THE STORY.
As a child, I was known as "Jessica Pelley." When I was nine, I went to a sleepover at a friend's house for the weekend. While I was away, my entire family was murdered. I would spend the next 30 years fighting, crawling, and clawing my way through the darkness. This wasn't just a national news headline, a cold case, or a true crime show. It was my family. And my life. I was the broken little girl left behind to tell this story. I am now "Jessi," in the pages of this unapologetic memoir, set free.

Say "goodbye" to your sleep. This is one of the craziest true-crime-stories-turned-memoirs ever written. For those readers looking for one heck of a story, this is it. True crime junkies, buckle up. This is the untold story of my cousin, Jessica Pelley. And we don't sugarcoat a thing.
BE WARNED: This book depicts real events that deal with violence, trauma, and the difficult emotions experienced by a person who survived a horrific tragedy. Parts may be triggering for some trauma survivors. Does contain some profanity.
