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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"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)

While the subject matter was difficult, I felt the author did a good job writing about it. She had a good handle on the way a young girl feels and thinks. Some of her experiences were so real. Heartwarming and painful, like life can be. This book captured me.

This was an interesting story with smooth story line. Story of a young girl growing up. Does have foul language and sexual abuse.

TRIGGER ALERT

This isn’t an easy listen. It contains several accounts of child SA and and one incident of child r*pe. Other than that, the author writes beautifully and the narrator is perfect.

Difficult subject matter

I’ve seen this sickness my whole life, not from a brother, but other close family members, and friends of the family and just men I know; young and old. It’s passed down from generation to generation. I don’t believe there is a women I’ve come across who has not been sexually assaulted in some manner. Men have been doing heinous acts of violations to women since the Bible days, and I don’t see that ending. It is imperative to educate young girls, unfortunately, as early as 4 or 5 about inappropriate touching, and watch them.
Children are exposed to too much and natural instincts and imitation kicks in.

I could not at all relate to the first persons review and wondered what type of 11 year old they have been around who had less verbal and cognitive skills as Dixie. Everything was very age appropriate for her context and behavior, and how you thought she was just acting out, is beyond me.

I do know that fear, pride and desperation may cause you to make some irrational decisions, especially when your Children’s well being is in jeopardy, but considering all that happened to her, She should not have let Dixie out of her sight. for ONE second. Dixie should have slept with her, bathed with her and went to the bathroom every where she went!

This book is needed for Knowledge and healing.

Sad But True

This is my first novel by Donna Everhart, but certainly not my last. Maybe because the main location is in the South that I could relate to the mannerisms and quirky language since I reside in the South and found that the author lives in my home state. The story is so believable that you want to read it in one day. From a truly gifted author.

A Heart Gripping Story

Loved this book

I love a book where while I am reading think about what is going on and where it is going. This book was like hearing my own story put into words. Although not my mom’s part. Thank you for a good story and a time to look back and forgive.

Great story’

I love the narrator for the story, but the story is very dark, especially if you have daughters or granddaughters. There are some scenes that are very graphic and disturbing.

This is a hard listen. It’s very dark.

great book, characters were well developed, even the ones who played a small part. the scene is a very very small part and is not too graphic to make this book unenjoyable.
