To the outside world Rachel and her half-sister Claire had a privileged upbringing. The offspring of a complex, but free-spirited mother and two wealthy fathers, they spent their childhood in private schools and stately homes. Rachel''s father Count De Lengham even descended from a long and ancient line of aristocrats and boasted his own coat of arms. Most would never question what really happened behind the doors of the grand houses they inhabited.
But, in truth, life was abhorrently chaotic for both girls who endured extreme neglect, abuse and even spent time in care. As she grew older, Rachel''s father trained her to be every inch the baroness. He called upon her to attend elite parties and events with the highest echelons of society. In time, Rachel and Claire''s relationship with their parents became increasingly strained. But when Count De Lengham became ill and the family were told he was near death, Rachel was there for him and in that moment, he shared with her a mind-blowing deathbed confession that would change her family''s lives forever...
This is the shocking story of how two sisters navigated the most absurd of upbringings and a heartfelt exploration of family-ties, identity, and the concept of truth.
