Explore the harrowing true story of Tara, detailed in The Reckoning, written with Sunday Times bestselling author Ann Cusack. This powerful biography delves into the devastating impact of generational abuse, a mother's murder, and one daughter's relentless pursuit of justice.

Growing up in a household with drug-abusing parents among eight children, Tara learned self-reliance early. Despite her mother's negligence, Tara remained fiercely loyal, a loyalty tested when she uncovered the terrible sexual abuse she suffered from her own father.
