From the back cover

For years, Amy has been the scapegoat for her mother's spending. Every cheap tutoring session, knockoff outfit and small allowance was reported to her father as a lavish expense, and the family's missing money was always blamed on her. Relatives and neighbours see her as a wastrel who drains her parents dry, while her mother plays the frugal martyr.

When her grandmother needs money for medical treatment, her father's anger lands on Amy once more. But this time she has kept every receipt, and she is done staying silent. Then her mother gifts her a brand-new shirt that turns out to have belonged to a dead girl, and Amy finally confronts the lies that have defined her whole life.

A story of a daughter breaking free from a mother's manipulation, and of the truth that can no longer be buried.

Inside the book Opening excerpt

When I was little, my mom would take me to the park and only buy me a bottle of water.

But when we got home, she'd tell my dad we spent over $30 on food and entertainment.

She'd enroll me in the cheapest English tutoring classes, costing about $4 per session.

But she'd tell my dad each class cost $40.

She'd buy me clothes from street vendors selling knockoffs, but tell my dad each piece cost hundreds of dollars.

She'd even claim I threw tantrums, refusing to leave the store unless she bought them for me.
