The author shares her journey conning friends for money. She is eventually caught and spent time incarcerated. There is some internet “fame” along the way as well. On release she rebuilds her life and goes straight. I enjoyed reading about her story, including the aspect of being born in Korea, adopted and raised in the state of Utah as a Mormon.

Fascinating. Ferrell is a talented writer, and the words in this story captivated me. I laughed, hoped, and teared up during the book. I read and write about adoption, so I found those parts to be authentic and refreshing to read such honesty. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

What a job this was to read.

It felt as though it was all over the place and, unfortunately, it was just plain boring,.

Thank you #Netgalley for the advanced copy!

Wow! There were moments here that I could not believe were true! I also can't believe how much media coverage this story had grabbed when the financial amount wasn't even that much! So many interested stories starting with her adoption, growing up in Utah as a Mormon, the trouble she got into as a child that eventually expanded to greater crimes as an adult. But I love to see Keri progress after her time spent away and how she connect with Elliott and turns her life around for the better.
