Unveiling Secrets: Karen Palmer’s Shocking Journey Behind She’s Under Here
In 1989, Karen Palmer had been remarried for about a week to a man named Vinnie. She had two daughters, Erin and Amy, who were seven and three. She and Vinnie pulled the girls out of school, buckled them into the back of a car they paid for with cash, and left California. In the trunk, they had pillows and blankets, four place settings, one pot, one pan, some clothing, and a sack of money containing every penny to their names.
But what names? Who are you if not your name? Palmer and Vinnie needed new ones, so did the girls. This was the beginning of their journey of disappearance, reinvention, and resilience. Palmer explores the lines between victim and perpetrator, protagonist and reader, desire and fear, captivity and freedom. I found this story utterly propulsive and could not stop turning the page until I reached the very end, and who was there? Karen? Myself? You?
