Official synopsis Publisher
When the police find 13-year-old Linda, she is standing silently on a blood-spattered parking ramp, the only witness to a murder/suicide. The now-dead gunman was her mother’s boyfriend. And his victim — old enough to be Linda’s father — was Linda’s lover. Told in her own words, Linda’s story is harrowing, torn straight from the headlines, and unforgettable. It has taken children’s literature, as we know it, to an entirely new level.
