Hurley Altmyer is a 19-year-old who has taken on the responsibility for his three younger sisters after their mother has been convicted and sentenced to life in prison for shooting their father. He is hanging on by his fingernails – working two low-paying jobs in an effort to keep their house and the family together. But he is clearly at the breaking point, totally unable to cope or even to face the truth of what has happened and is happening.

For this book, All I can say is, wow. It's not for the faint of heart and contains some shocking and mature subject matter. Well written, but it should come with a warning label. The characters are likable and believable, and in the end you aren't really sure who to feel bad for.

If you like dark, you'll love this. Too dark and disturbing for me. (Put it in perspective: I love British mysteries...)
