À propos de cet audio
In 1969 Dixie Dupree is 11 years old and already an expert liar. Sometimes the lies are for her mama Evie's sake - to explain away a bruise brought on by her quick-as-lightning temper. And sometimes the lies are to spite Evie, who longs to leave her unhappy marriage in Perry County, Alabama, and return to her beloved New Hampshire. But for Dixie and her brother, Alabama is home, a place of pine-scented breezes and hot, languid afternoons.
Though Dixie is learning that the family she once believed was happy has deep fractures, even her vivid imagination couldn't concoct the events about to unfold. Dixie records everything in her diary - her parents' fights, her father's drinking and his unexplained departure, and the arrival of Uncle Ray. Only when Dixie desperately needs help and is met with disbelief does she realize how much damage her past lies have done. But she has courage and a spirit that may yet prevail, forcing secrets into the open and allowing her to forgive and become whole again.

"With a strong beginning to a powerful story and a strong-minded, spunky central character in Dixie, Everhart's story is one to cherish." (RT Book Reviews)
"Narrator Amy Melissa Bentley is a spunky Dixie Dupree, who is dealing with the head-on collision between her innocence as an 11-year-old and the harsh reality of her life.... Bentley's accents and attitudes are just right as she portrays a bright, hopeful Dixie; her mercurial mother and alcoholic father; her older brother, AJ; and relatives who add to the family's problems rather than help. Gritty writing and a brutally truthful narration make this poignant listening." (AudioFile)

Struggled
I struggled to finish the book. It was a slow build and the main character was not likeable. The story was not believable and the ending felt rushed. Not a great read

Heart breaking but great read
I read the one review this book has which was a 2.5 star saying it was slow and not good and I don't understand what book they read because it certainly wasn't this one. They also left the exact comment on another one of the authors books.
I absolutely loved this book. I listened to it every chance I got and finished it quickly. The characters are normal people who have had bitter struggles in life. I appreciated the insight it gave me from a victims perspective and it absolutely enraged me how the medical staff treated the Dixie and I pray this is not the norm for victims. I was sad when the book was over and I quickly downloaded the rest of the authors books.
