"I run my hands over the cover of the diary. Possibly, this was the last thing my father wrote in. Sure, he wrote academic papers and presentations and lectures.

Will Victoria finally accept her father as the man he was or continue to live in denial? "Even as I relive it right now, it haunts me the same as it did when it happened. I mulled my decision over multiple times in my head. I realized this was the only way to save Hannah. I know. I am the cruelest, most selfish man on earth.
