| Summary: | By the age of nine, Diamond had lived in more than a dozen countries, on five continents, under six assumed identities. She didn't know that she was born into a family of outlaws fleeing from the highest international law enforcement agencies, a family with secrets that would eventually catch up to all of them. As her family began to unravel, she started to realize that her life itself might be a big con. With no way out and her identity burned so often that she had no proof she even existed, all that was left was a girl from nowhere. This is her impossible-to-believe true story of self-discovery and triumph. -- adapted from jacket |
