A random read...
I am reading (listening) to a book right now and the heroine in a young lady who's father dies in a questionable accident with an unknown lady in the car with him. The unknown lady died too.
The heroine loves her "Daddy". He was charming and fun while her mother was pinched and sour. She was a daddy's girl. I have only gotten as far as her finding out that her daddy's companion in the car was one of a series of mistress's because her mom 'fessed up. All through her childhood her mom was an ogre and her "daddy" was the fun one.
This is a novel but a writer must write based on some sort or truth. This dumb novel is all about me and my childhood. My dad is alive but the rest is the same.
To be continued....
