YA
Athletic, good-girl Hadley survived the small plane crash that killed her mother and father. She's grieving, but flashback chapters tell an unnerving story of her father's escalating emotional and physical abuse--and of Hadley's planned retaliation. Police interview transcripts and excerpts from post-suicide-attempt therapy sessions increase the tension. This gripping family drama explores how easily wealth and a "happy family" façade can mask abuse.
