A gut wrenching novel constructed by Alice Sebold, depicting the life of a young girl cut short due to a heinous individual. I could almost picture myself along side Susie and her family, forced to reconcile with their feelings of grief, anger, sadness and denial. A heartbreaking tale of love and loss, and the lengths we go for family.
