HAUNTING MEMORIES...SECRETS...LIES A SERIAL KILLER STALKING... In the last of the Bitter Memories series, a man believing he has amnesia walks the streets in Haskell, Texas trying to remember who he is; where he came from. In reality, Stan Clark has blackouts, leaving him with no memories during this timeframe. Numerous men and women are disappearing from small area towns. Henry Frye, Munday's police chief, is at his wits end after one of his own officers turns up missing and a "secret" town meeting is called. He doesn't know a serial killer will soon be stalking his own backyard. Jasmine Goldberg, Henry's dispatcher, is determined to find out all she can about the missing people. In her search she uncovers an old Army report showing a photo of a man with frightening, sadistic eyes. Other than the eyes, the photo resembles a Stan Clark who'd been reported missing for nearly two years. A car fitting Clark's vehicle is spotted on the highway, but seeing the patrol car, the driver makes a run for it. Officers from area towns join the chase, pursuing the vehicle to a house hidden from the highway. Once inside, the officers stumble upon a delusional maniac hiding in the basement, and a gruesome sight upstairs. Before years of lies from the past can destroy him, Henry opens his heart and soul to the two women he loves deeply-Lori, his mistress, and Sarah, his dead sister's daughter he adopted-praying Sarah can forgive him when she learns the truth.

Multiple personalities take over Sarah's mind...only so they can protect her. Abducted by her father when she was three years old, Sarah found herself in a world of criminal neglect and unfathomable oppression as her father, stepmother and many others perpetrated more and more horrible acts of verbal, mental and sexual abuse on the innocent girl. Sarah, so continually terrified, began to form separate personalities so that she herself did not have to face the hideous reality of her day to day life. In nightmares, the other personalities would present to her the horrific abuse she was being subjected to, blocking out time for Sarah, bearing the horror of the experiences themselves so their dear Sarah would not have to. Although the names in this unforgettable story have been changed from those in real life, the horrors that occurred are factual. This tale of the author's early life is a true and unnervingly gripping account of the extremes of neglect and mistreatment a child can undergo-and still survive. Told from the heart, "Bitter Memories" is dedicated to all survivors of abuse; written in the hope that exposing these horrors will help prevent them from happening to others, and that more survivors will find a path toward healing. Contains adult language and graphic content.
