Licking the Knife: A memoir - Paperback

At 45, Lucky finally feels like she has achieved her dreams - a lovely life with a successful career, beautiful son, adoring husband, two dogs and house in the 'burbs.

But when Lucky's mother and 100-year-old grandfather violently attack her home, it sends her spiraling out of control. Her delicately crafted double life begins to collapse, and she is finally forced to confront decades of terror, abuse and secrets she has been hiding from everyone - including herself. Lucky breaks the silence of generations, threatening her sanity and the safety of those she so carefully protected.

Sabrina Capper's deeply harrowing true story explores the depths of suffering and shows that even in the darkness, there is the possibility of healing. It is a story of having the courage to speak the truth, no matter the consequences.
