Publisher's Synopsis
WARNING: THIS BOOK CONTAINS GRAPHIC VIOLENCE. IT IS NOT INTENDED FOR CHILDREN! Little Family Secrets is based on the true story of Ruth Neslund, the notorious Pacific Northwest murderer. In the summer of 1980, Ruth shot her husband Rolf Neslund, chopped him into pieces with a butcher knife, and burned his remains in a barrel. The story is told through the eyes of a seven-year-old child, Cindy, who is closely involved with the events leading up to Rolf's murder. Cindy's turbulent relationship with her troubled aunt casts a shadow over her life at school, her relationships with her neighborhood friends and family, and makes her a potential murder victim herself, when she inadvertently witnesses Ruth's first abortive attempt to kill Rolf. Little Family Secrets is a chilling tale told in a terrifying, dark, and unexpectedly funny way.
