Eileen wrote this story after finding a non-mailed letter in the wall of her home from a Joan Dumann.
She researched as much as she could but didn't find a lot on Joan, so she made this story of what she might have been like until the year 1971 - the year of Joan's murder.
Now, at times while reading, I felt bad for Joan's character but then I always remembered that Joan kind of brought all the things that happened to her on herself. She would make wild decisions, oftentimes without consulting those that it would affect, But I believed that she always believed she was making the right choices.
I felt the second half of the book, I was more into than the first half but I'm glad to have stuck with it.
