Caran always wondered about her family's secrets. Her search for the truth took many years to unravel the mysteries-and then to eventually disclose those secrets she herself was keeping. What the Skeletons in the Closet Tell Me invites readers along on a riveting, adventurous spy mission of self-discovery and quest for the truth. From her rough and tumble childhood in the Pacific Northwest, through the "hell" of her military service, the massive ongoing government cover-ups, and it's complex aftermath. Caran reflects with candid honesty on a life she never expected to last this long. She recounts the relentless battles with injustice, discrimination, and the stigma of mental illness, brutal abuse and betrayal from the hands of people she trusted. She escapes death with the help of her mystical allies, beloved animal companions, and "The Voice" who leads her to discover the goldmine, the hidden treasure of hope, healing, and transformation.
