This book has been written to bring the truth to life; this is not a fictional story telling false stories of abuse and hatred, it is fact!

From the moment David and I were born Kristine emotionally detached herself from the both of us, there was no unbreakable mother child bond that connected us together. Kristine never displayed any motherly affection towards either David or I, and at no point in our lives have either of us consider her our mother. This is due to the fact that Kristine is the most evil, manipulative and sadistic person either of us has ever met.

Afterwards, she even felt guilty about this violation of justice and called the cops on herself, and she later signed a written statement stating that she is guilty of the murder of Mr. Donovan Stephens. Then the defendant later recanted this statement and said that she only killed Mr. Stephens in self defense.
