Summary:
"A fierce memoir of a mother's murder, a daughter's coming-of-age in the wake of immense loss, and her mission to know the woman who gave her life. When
Sarah
Perry
was twelve, she saw a partial eclipse of the sun, an event she took as a sign of good fortune for her and her mother, Crystal. But that brief moment of darkness ultimately foreshadowed a much larger one: two days later, Crystal was murdered in their home in rural Maine, just a few feet from
Sarah
's bedroom. The killer escaped unseen; it would take the police twelve years to find him, time in which
Sarah
grew into adulthood, struggling with abandonment, police interrogations, and the effort of rebuilding her life when so much had been lost. Through it all she would dream of the eventual trial, a conviction, all her questions finally answered. But after the trial,
Sarah
's questions only grew. She wanted to understand her mother's life, not just her final hours, and so she began a personal investigation, one that drew her back to Maine, taking her deep into the abiding darkness of a small American town. A luminous memoir of uncomfortable truth and terrible beauty and an exquisite memorial for a mother stolen from her daughter.
Sarah
Perry
holds an M.F.A. in nonfiction from Columbia University. Her prose has appeared in Blood & Thunder magazine and Bluestockings Literary Journal. She lives in Brooklyn"--Provided by publisher.
