When Sarah Perry was twelve her mother Crystal was murdered. It would take the police twelve years to find the killer. After the trial, Sarah wanted to understand her mother's life, not just her final hours, and so she began a personal investigation, taking her deep into the abiding darkness of a small American town. Told in searing prose, this is a luminous memoir of uncomfortable truth and terrible beauty, an exquisite memorial for a mother stolen from her daughter, and a blazingly successful attempt to cast light on her life once more.
