Description:
|
That's all it takes - just one split second - to upend the lives of the five families and their community. Life could and would never be the same again. It's all too easy to imagine: a party - a car full of teenagers on their way home - a moment's inattention - a brick wall.
Viewed from multiple perspectives, this compelling story of an accident and its aftermath, thoughtfully examines the consequences of such a familiar and tragic event.

Book felt very close to home, as most of us have teenagers who are driving. Good book, enjoyed overall. |
