PoisonBy Jordyn RedwoodDescription:
Five years ago, Keelyn Blake's armed, mentally ill stepfather took her family hostage in their house in rural Colorado. She and her half-sister Raven made it out alive, but others did not. Authorities blamed the father's frequent hallucinations about a being named Lucent, but in the end, even the best of the FBI's hostage negotiators failed to overcome the man's delusions and end the standoff peacefully. Book Takeaway:Truthfulness can be freeing. Why the author wrote this book:I wanted to delve into the subject matter of memory. How are false memories created? Can brainwashing occur? |
