Yet despite all the colorful stories Valerie loved to tell about her parents, does anyone really know the real story of how it all really began?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinally that real story is recounted to us by both Larry and Laura themselves. From childhood to adulthood nothing is left out or left to the imagination. It is two tales of hideous evil that reproduces itself over and over again until nothing can contain it!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLarry himself recounts the grisly tale of how his stepfather’s evil grew and multiplied until it had no choice but to grow and multiply inside of Larry. Then Laura picks up the tale. Learn why Laura hated Valerie so much. Together their tale is hideous thing - a hideous thing that all of the Nightengales and the Prestons who come after it are haunted by forever. Especially Valerie Nightengale!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom Valerie's Family...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTalk about white trash! That was what all of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, called our stepfather and the rest our pathetic ragtag family who were the lowest of the low. Who were the scum of the earth. The worst of the worst. And we were dirt-poor too! How would you like to grow up like that?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrash or not, when I was a kid I was smart. I mean, really smart! All A’s in school. School awards. Perfect attendance. Not that my parents ever bothered to notice. They never acknowledged any of my awards or even came to any school presentations to see me get them. And when I won awards my twin sister just sniffed and said that I was vain and that I was a sinner in the eyes of God. But no matter how bad the rest of my family was -- how trashy they were! -- when I was a kid I beat what I later came to call the Nightengale curse and tried to become something more than what I already was. Dad never amounted to anything and he died way too young anyway. Momma was out and out cold and distant: She was selfish and indifferent to everyone around her. And my twin sister Laura was an ill-educated religious hypocrite determined to chastise everything I did no matter how good it was, no matter how important it made me feel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd when I was not good, boy, did I hear about it from her!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith my twin sister Laura, that was almost all the time. Her mouth ran on and on like a leaky faucet and it always dripped scorn and condemnation!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter Dad died, Momma went and married Charlie Freelander who was no better than white trash either. And when he was all done with me, I was no better than him and no better than the rest of them either no matter what my intentions had been to be better. I wanted to stand out. Instead, I became complete and utter trash too!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI mean, just consider what became oh-so important to me when I was only thirteen years old. I mean, prior to turning thirteen I had goals, dreams, and desires. I was going to be somebody someday. Somebody big, somebody important! The rest of my family was stupid but I was practically a genius and I was going to beat the cards that were stacked so high against my ragtag family. Despite the hum-drum existence that was my life and the lives of the rest of my clan I was going to be somebody someday - anybody! But then Momma married Charlie Freelander and he proceeded to destroy my life and the lives of everyone around me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the best-selling tradition of the most famous gothic authors...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Nightengale Legacy Of Sin And Betrayal\u003cbr\u003eValerie\u003cbr\u003eValerie’s Secrets\u003cbr\u003eValerie’s Sinners\u003cbr\u003eValerie’s Freaks\u003cbr\u003eValerie’s Family\u003cbr\u003eValerie’s Legacy\u003cbr\u003eDorothy's Prophecy\u003cbr\u003eThe Nightengale Legacy Sampler Edition","brand":"Foxworth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078808649968,"sku":"2940012389992","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012389992_p0.jpg?v=1763567913","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012389992","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
