Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was seven years old when my sister told me she would give me five dollars to run upstairs and take a picture of my parents having sex. I had no idea what sex was, but I did know that I needed to step up my wardrobe to be taken seriously in first grade.

#2 I was the oldest child, and when I got home from school, I was greeted by my sister and father. My sister and I had been playing in the basement, and she suddenly complained that she was hungry. I knew my mother would not be mad at us because she was always defending us to my father.

#3 I was walking home from school one day when I was accosted by a man on the sidewalk who asked me if I knew any tricks. I was terrified, and when I got home, I told my mother that men fell asleep after they had sex.

#4 I was ready to stay in the basement as long as it took for my dad to forget about what had happened. I had seen his penis and did not think I would be able to look him in the eye anytime soon.
