Summary of Carrie White's Upper Cut

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I liked it when my mother included me in the family activities. I would mix drinks for my mother and her boyfriends, and bring them over on a small metal tray. #2 When I was almost seven, my mother began dating Johnny, a man who would eventually become my predator. I didn't like him, and I didn't want to know him better.
I would pretend not to hear him when he tried to talk to me. #3 I was eight years old when I learned about the expression, If nobody moves, nobody gets hurt. I continued to hold still as Johnny took my shoulders and pushed me from my room through the hall into the dark kitchen. He pushed my back flat against the refrigerator, placing my mouth level with his penis. #4 I had a best friend named Beverly, who was an only child like me.
We shared an aloneness no one else could understand. We changed this by making ourselves like twin sisters. We organized school days with matching outfits, same colors, and sweaters.
