Ted was simply Ted, and erratic behavior, surprise visits, and chilling events while she was riding horses or helping her dad at his sawmill were dismissed because he was \"just the odd hermit.\" He was, in fact, the Unabomber, for seventeen years mailing explosives to strangers, the longest-running domestic terrorist in American history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As an adult with this knowledge, the innocence of her youth robbed, Gehring needed to reconcile her lived experience with the evil that hid in plain sight. In this book, through years of research probing Ted's personal history, his writings, his secret coded crime journals, her own correspondence with him in his Supermax prison cell, plus interviews with others close to Kaczynski, Gehring unearths the complexity, mystery, and tragedy of her childhood with the madman in the woods. And she discovers a shocking revelation--she and her family were in Kaczynski's crosshairs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A work of intricately braided research, journalism, and personal memories, this book is a chilling response to the question: Do you really \u003ci\u003eknow\u003c\/i\u003e your neighbor? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAdditionally, in this updated edition, Gehring provides an eye-opening epilogue written after Ted's death, confronting the infamous legacy he left behind.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJamie Gehring spent her Montana childhood in endless exploration of a backyard held in common with the Unabomber--a serial killer obsessed with dismantling technological society.
