Description: Thrilled to have my daughter back after she ran away from home in 2009, I catered to her every whim. I heard the accusations all over my small Minnesota community about how much she lied, but my blinding love made me believe every word she uttered. Discovering my high school daughter was sending topless photos of herself electronically made my stomach lurch. Hearing the police say it was a crime left me speechless. A year later, I began to see the intricacies of her lies and manipulations THIS is some tough love. -- taken from back cover.
