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."--cProvided by publisher.10aEdwards, Edward,d1933-2011.91958010aBalascio, April.919579 0aSerial murdererszUnited StatesvBiography.910325 0aSerial murderszUnited StatesvCase studies.919581 0aSerial murder investigationzUnited States.919582 0aFathers and daughters. 7aBiographies.2lcgft95221 7aTrue crime stories.2lcgft98501  a.b207362063  2ddccBOOK  c30487d30487  2ddc4070aABELJbABELJcNFd2025-03-25g29.99l4o364.15 BALAp40225r2025-08-06s2025-07-29w2025-03-25yBOOK11
