All at once, the buried memories of her father's dark history were awakened, and she knew she had to take action. She picked up the phone to call a detective and the rest is infamous true crime history. In her unflinching memoir, Balascio bravely reveals an astonishing tale of a lifetime of manipulation, unexplained upheavals, and silent fear. Some part of her had always known what her father was capable of, but the full truth of how she came to these revelations is as riveting as it is quietly terrifying. Through searing storytelling, dedicated research, and intimate insight, Raised by a Serial Killer is a gripping, courageous memoir unlike any other"--- Subjects: Biographies.; True crime stories.; Balascio, April.; Edwards, Edward, 1933-2011.; Fathers and daughters.; Serial murder investigation; Serial murderers; Serial murders;

Read by the author."As a child, April Balascio moved nearly every year with her family, crisscrossing the country from one campground or ramshackle rented house to the next. They were seemingly always on the run--but from what, she never understood. Her father, whom she both loved and feared, always had an excuse, and whatever chased them from their latest home became buried in her memories...along with many other disturbing secrets. Decades later, at the age of forty, April began obsessively searching online for cold cases in the towns she'd lived in as a child. One night, a story popped up that gave her an eerie sense of déjà vu. Two young people who disappeared in the summer of 1980 near Watertown, Wisconsin, had become a famous unsolved double murder called "The Sweetheart Murders." As memories of Watertown began to resurface and terrifying possibilities dawned on her, April faced a grave choice: betray the person who had raised her, or let the dark truth go undiscovered. She picked up the phone to call the police hotline, changing her family's life forever."--Title from container. - Subjects: Audiobooks.; True crime stories.; Autobiographies.; Biographies.; Edwards, Ed, 1933-; Balascio, April; Serial murderers; Children of criminals;
