Shirley J. Adult Fiction/Murder Mystery Abused young girls seeking justice
A Nearly Normal Family: A Novel by Rachel Wilson-Broyles 400 pages
What do you do when you are a pastor, your wife is a defense attorney and your 18 year old daughter is accused of murder? This story is told from 3 vantage points, the father's, the mother's and the daughters' and each is so unique and you will both understand and find yourself physically recoiling from some of he things each of them do. A very good story showing the lengths parents will go for their child, the bonds lifelong friends break and hold dear and the foul depths a despicable cad (read between the lines, I want to say a lot worse) will go to achieve their own goals and sometimes even within a family each has their own agenda, the good news is while their agendas differ (one goes beyond what the police do, one destroys evidence, lies, deception while protecting the innocent) they each have the same goal. Good book. While the story is really good especially for mystery and suspense lovers, I think it might drag the details out a little too long to suit younger readers wanting to hurry and get to the meat of the story so I recommend this one to adults of all ages.
