Dear Librarian, Imagine you are told where you will live, what your job will be, what name people will say when they call you. That's not Soviet-era communism; it's life in the Federal Witness Protection Program. I wondered what it might be like to be in the program from early childhood, to be spoon-fed an entire existence by the Federal government. Who, exactly, would I be? THE GIRL SHE USED TO BE tells the story of Melody Grace McCartney, a woman in witness protection since age six who finds herself desperately longing for a new identity: her real one. In her pursuit, she opens her life to the only person who can actually call her by her real name, the Mafioso sent to make her disappear. Melody's story combines suspense and romance as the Feds and the Mafia fight for her custody—and her life.
