Backcover Description: It always seemed to me that I and my Stepfather never really got long, during both my childhood and teenage years. He never eally seemed to like me; I was always the one in trouble for one hing or another, unlike my siblings. I guess that was the main eason I left school at fifteen and went into the Royal Air Force, ust two months before my sixteenth birthday. The day I received his call, I was thirty five, out of the Royal Air orce and married with a child of my own, who was and still is, he love of my life. He said he needed to talk to me; something had come up in the office. At this point I need to tell you that my Stepfather had a small company, which had been growing fast over the last five years or so. My husband worked for him, as did other members of my close family. Making that journey was to be the biggest mistake of my life.
When you feel like crying just call me, I can’t promise that I will make you laugh, but I can cry with you. If one day you feel like running away don’t be afraid to call me, I don’t promise to ask you to stay, but I can run with you. If one day you just can’t listen to anyone, call me and I promise to be there for you, but I also promise to remain quiet. But if one day you call me and there is no reply, please come to me quickly, perhaps I need you.
Book Review/s to share: Book review Cathy of Crazy bookworms.
My Thoughts: This book is a memoir, unfortunately what this woman had to endure is not a work of fiction. How do you review someones real life? The author of this book is brave, having to relive these horrific memories to tell us her story. The stories told in this book are unbelievable, to think that someone can be so heartless, so manipulative. 'Teresa' had to deal with the devil himself. 'There's a fine line' will take you down a dark road, a road that no one should ever have to travel. The author tells her story in so much detail and emotion that you feel as if you are standing right there with her. While reading the book I couldn't help but get emotional, I got sad, happy but most of all angry, I was angry because of the situation she was forced in and at her stepfather. A lot of people will take something from this book, even people that haven't been in a situation like this. It's hard to think that life can go on after a tragedy or a horrific crime or something else life changing/shattering, but it does and the author is proof of that. It's a giant step that a person has to make to move forward, everyone has their own methods that suit them best, the authors was this book. The rawness and vulnerability is etched into every word. The events that take place in this book are heavy, no doubt, but I think a person could take a great lesson from this book. I am glad I had the opportunity to read 'There's a Fine Line'.
