A haunting, riveting novel about what it means to be a parent and face who your child really is. If you enjoyed We Need to Talk About Kevin you must read this book.
Hanna and Joe could never have suspected that the happiness of their youngest daughter, Dawn, would lead to the shattering of their lives. When Dawn introduces them to her new boyfriend, Rud, the family tempers their unsettled feelings because they're glad that Dawn, always an awkward child, seems to have blossomed.
But when Hanna and Joe are savagely beaten, Rud is the suspect. Joe dies and Hanna, who survives, begins to inhabit a world of coping, denial, regret, and wistful remembrance of her family. She questions if a teacher's haunting statement, "It just seems like there's something missing," might mean that Dawn could have helped murder her father.
Struggling as traumatic memories of the night resurface, Hanna has to decide if she can testify while also confronting the reality of who Dawn is.
