Six Twenty-Eight:
Perfect Prey for a Predator
A Memoir, Part One
A child’s mind is that of a sponge, or so they say. Children learn quickly, carrying what they absorb through adulthood. Clean water sets them up for success, but what about when it’s filthy? Seeping out of the stained well with the auburn shade of abuse and shattered glass from a moral compass. It poisons. What was once pillowy and yellow has been shriveled brown by survival.
In Six Twenty-Eight: Perfect Prey for a Predator, Lauren Frances reflects on a childhood shaped by instability, secrecy, and emotionally complex relationships that would leave a lasting impact into adulthood. With emotional precision and unflinching honesty, she invites readers beyond the surface of trauma and into the inner world of the child living through it: her fears, humor, confusion, and attempts to understand the adults around her.
Both unsettling and deeply human, Six Twenty-Eight is not solely about trauma, but also the lasting psychological weight of surviving it.
