by Lois Duncan
PRMS paperback 354 pages
Lois Duncan's daughter was shot in the head in 1989 while driving from a friend's house. This book is the story of a mother's odyssey to uncover the truth.
Most of us in book club did not like it, primarily because of her reliance on psychic readings (and the grammatical oddness of reading their reports). Some of us took issue with the contrast between her stated perspective of being over-protective and her permissiveness with Kaitlyn (e.g. letting her move out and live with her boyfriend at age 18).
All of us empathized with a parent's pain. Many were frustrated with a lack of conclusion (since no one has been charged with the murder).
Most of us wondered how this ended up on the 7th grade LA reading list, even as a lit circle option. . .
There is so much more interesting info on the case available on the websites that follow:
