This is a Swedish book translated for a wider audience. That said, family drama is everywhere no matter the language spoken. This one hits the mark on all sides, a little religion, a rebellious teen, and the ever present guilty for being a working/career mom.
When Stella, the teenage daughter, is arrested for the murder of an older man, what proceeds is parental guilt and scrambling to save their daughter from the charges at hand. But what if she did it? And what kind of parent can believe their child possibly capable of such a crime? How well will the individuals' integrity hold up in the face of the dissolution of their family. Do you sell out one individual for the sake of another?
Told from the perspectives of the Pastor Father, Attorney Mother, and the accused teen all of which firmly hooks the reader.
