An outstanding psychological thriller

"Dispose of me with the trash," he always said. "When I die, you can just throw me away with the garbage."

Sally Diamond cannot understand why what she did should be considered strange. After all, she simply followed her father's instructions. But suddenly, everyone becomes interested in the reclusive woman: the media, the police, and a sinister voice from her past—one to which she has no recollection. As she gradually comes to understand the horrors of her childhood, Sally truly discovers the world for the first time. She makes new friends, makes far-reaching decisions, and learns that people do not always mean what they say. But who is the stranger sending Sally messages? And why does her neighbor seem almost obsessed with her? A novel that touches the soul with an unforgettable protagonist.
