Her mother married her father when he was already behind bars. ![]() Kalyn Spence is the daughter of a murderer. ![]() Overall: 5+++Ĭharacters: 5 I am so in love with every single character this book- and there are quite a few. When the alleged murderer's daughter and the victim's son form an unbreakable friendship and new evidence comes to life, the town gets torn up again over the controversy. Two families that might as well be the Capulets and the Montagues are at the center, stirring drama through the town. ![]() Overview: A murder from a generation ago still haunts a rural Kentucky town. ![]() ![]() ![]() This poem contains rich, excellent examples of onomatopoeia.
