Lives shattered by a murder within the family
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Renate Dorrestein, author of A Heart of Stone, relates the sad tale of a "perfect marriage" ripped asunder when the teenage son is murdered. Although the story is situated within the confines of one single weekend, use of flashback orients readers to the causes of the love and guilt and recrimination that surface. Heartbreaking, yet sometimes funny.
