PROLOUGE:
My name is Teresa. I was born and raised here in Sundre Alberta. Small town but full of the unexpected.
Some would also call me Carly; born and raised in the worst parts of New York City, forced to move to Olds with my abusive dad before someone finally caught him hitting me and put me in foster care.
Oh, and then there are the kids who would call me Juliet; A strong willed pastor’s daughter born in Tennessee and moved to Red Deer after her mother and father were killed. ‘Well witch one are you? Who is the real you?’ you ask.
Well I guess you could say I’m Teresa. That’s the name on my birth certificate. It’s the name I had growing up in Sundre for a good sixteen years. But things change, you know. You can’t stay the same person forever. Sure most people do keep the same background and name, but I guess that just wasn’t for me.
You likely want to know the whole story now don’t you. A little intrigued on why I lied about everything I had ever been for my life. Well that’s a complicated story that I really hope you have the time for.
