Descriere My Sunshine Away - M. O. Walsh

\nTHE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER \nA tantalizing mystery and a tender coming-of-age story...Unputdownable.--Oprah.com \n \nIn the summer of 1989, a Baton Rouge neighborhood best known for cookouts on sweltering summer afternoons, cauldrons of spicy crawfish, and passionate football fandom is rocked by a violent crime when fifteen-year-old Lindy Simpson--free spirit, track star, and belle of the block--is attacked late one evening near her home. \n \nFor such a close-knit community, the suspects are numerous, and the secrets hidden behind each closed door begin to unravel. Even the young teenage boy across the street, our narrator, does not escape suspicion. It is through his eyes, still haunted by heartbreak and guilt many years later, that we begin to piece together the night of Lindy's attack and its terrible rippling consequences on the once-idyllic community. \n \nBoth an enchanting coming-of-age story and a gripping mystery, My Sunshine Away reveals the ways in which our childhoods shape us, and what happens when those childhoods end. Acutely wise and deeply honest, this is an astonishing and page-turning debut about the meaning of family, the power of memory, and our ability to forgive. \n \nNamed A Book of the Year by NPR, The Dallas Morning News, Kirkus Reviews, and Booklist \n \nAn Entertainment Weekly 'Must List' Pick \n
