Welcome to Litsy!

“Because that's the one thing women are never, ever allowed to be. We can be sad, distraught, confused, pleading, forgiving. But not furious. Fury is reserved for other people. The worst thing you can be is an angry woman, an angry mother.”

A mother seeks justice for the murder of her 12 year old daughter. Dark and disturbing set in a small town with lots of secrets. I had to stop myself from jumping ahead to see what happened!

I love it when everything matches 🖤🤍🖤 I just noticed the trees on the cover match the bookmark 🖤 I try to keep him off the table, but y‘all know how that goes! I guess it‘s good it‘s getting used!

They died during a freak April snowstorm, blood pooling on a patchy bed of white.

Idk why I chose this one from the shelf. Her first book was great so I have high expectations!

The first half of the book is really about the Civil War in Missouri, but that history of division and its creation of the bushwhackers is what led to James' life of crime. The author does an incredible job unpacking the story. I loved learning the story behind his eventual crime spree. This was my Missouri nonfiction book and it's perfect for the category. I'll certainly be reading more from this author as well.

A slow start - I didn‘t love many (any?) of the characters, which made it hard to get into. But it picked up, and the ending was surprising. (19)
