Matt is determined to get to know this man. And when, amazingly, Murdoch begins dating Matt’s mother, it seems as if life may become peaceful for the first time.<P> Matt and his sisters have never before known a moment of peace in a household ruled by their unpredictable, vicious mother. And so, after Murdoch inevitably breaks up with her and the short period of family calm is over, Matt sees that he needs to take action. He refuses to let his family remain at risk. Can he call upon his hero, Murdoch? And if not, what might his desperation lead him to do?<P> A thought-provoking exploration of self-reliance and the nature of evil and a heart-wrenching portrait of a family in crisis, this is Nancy Werlin’s most compulsively readable novel yet. 7366923 2008 total:960|5:11|4:16|3:7|2:5|1:1| 960 3770 1557 237 5 5 false false Tue Nov 11 23:17:18 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 11 23:19:26 -0800 2008 Nancy Werlin has written a classic.]]> 5 4 false false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Apr 11 22:11:31 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 11 22:13:20 -0700 2008
