You'll never look at your neighbors the same again! Especially if they're odd...


Based on a true story, follow along as Julie Patterson and her family move to a new town and make new friends. But what do you do when a good friend suddenly turns into your worst enemy on the ultimate thrill ride, bent on destroying your life? How would you handle the situation when this friend turns you in to the authorities accusing you of child abuse? Walk away? Act like it never happened? Confront her?


No one believes you. You have no one to turn to. Even your attorney refuses to take your case seriously until it's almost too late. You have to rely on God to get you through. This is an edge of the seat gripper that will keep you waiting for the next terrible accusation that should only happen in your worst nightmare.


I can only imagine what this family went through. The emotional strain, upheaval, horrendous stress, all because your neighbor is a jealous psychopath. Where do you turn? Can you call the police because someone is accusing you of terrible deeds? No, not really. There must be some sort of victim group out there that could help, right? Wrong.


In Julie's own words...

"What exactly would it take for someone, anyone, to take this seriously and come to her rescue? Whatever it took, Julie hoped it would happen soon, and she hoped it wouldn't be too late..."

Just finished this book that I started reading last night! Luckily I am "retired" & have all the time in the world now to read all day as this book was just INCREDIBLE!

It is one of the most frightening stories I have ever read ....and I don't mean like a spooky/murder mystery type of frightening.....I mean this story is based on a TRUE STORY of what one woman did to a new neighbor who did not basically "cater to her" & it pissed her off enough to drive the new neighbor crazy with hatching plans to cause her trouble with other neighbors, the local police, and I don't want to go into too much detail as it will spoil the story! The author is excellent at getting all the details in perfect order to pull you into this story, making you feel like you are the one living this total "insanity" & wondering what is going on with LYNN (the crazy neighbor).

If you can get your hands on a copy of this book....do it!!! I am not planning to part with mine as I will be passing it around to family & friends... this is one
story (based on true story) you really won't believe...and you will be yelling out loud at some
of the unbelievable things LYNN does to torment JULIE
(the new neighbor).

LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope Author Kathie Truitt comes out with another one like this as I will be first in line to buy a copy!!! This story will stay with me for a long time when I think of the word "PSYCHO".

I have to give 5 stars for this one, it was hard to put down for a minute.

Based on a true story and on ID channel, it is a scary account of what a mentally ill neighbor can do, stalking, torment in any fashion she can think up, and what is so scary that the other neighbors knew it but wouldn't speak up.

If you can get a copy you won't be sorry.
