Description
A brother and sister cope with loss and traumaāand fight to keep whatās left of their family togetherāin a ācompellingā novel by a Newbery Honor Medal winner.
Jenna and Jeremy knew their parentsā marriage was in trouble. That was pretty obvious. But no one who knew the family could have predicted what would come next. One afternoon, Jenna and Jeremy are pulled from class and given horrifying news: their father, a college psychologist, has just shot their mother to death on a public street.
Now, Mom is dead, Dad is in jail, and a fifth-grade boy and his fourteen-year-old sister have a lot to reconcile. Not only grief, anger, confusion, and guiltābut their dadās motive, the secrets in their motherās diary, and shifting loyalties that are driving Jenna and Jeremy even further apart. With their fragile new lives in free fall, and their father about to stand trial, theyāre now going to have to confront the unimaginable.
From an author who has been a finalist for the National Book Award, among numerous other honors, this is āa compelling story suffused with raw and honest emotionā (Kirkus Reviews) and āa taut psychological mysteryā (Publishers Weekly).
