Summary of Carine McCandless's The Wild Truth - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 My mother, who was a dance student back in the 1960s, left the small town of Iron Mountain, Michigan, for the dream life of affluence and prestige she believed awaited her in sunny Los Angeles. But she was met by a strange man named my father, who loved her but was completely unrecognizable. #2 Billie was married to a man named Walt, who was a respected leader in his division and climbing the ladder.
He was also a married man with three children and another on the way. Billie was attracted to his success, but he was also loyal to the wrong person. #3 When Billie began her relationship with Walt, Marcia had grown weary of Walt's history of indiscretions. One day, while tending to Walt's dry cleaning, Marcia found Billie's ID in one of his jacket pockets. When she voiced her suspicions, she was met with a vile mix of aspersions, threats, and violence. #4 I was born in 1971.
The stress in Billie's life began to lift, with a progression of Walt's promises seeming less hollow. He spent more time with us and paid more attention to Billie. She was also busier than she'd been before, because she now tended to two young children and their father.
