This was an amazing memoir. Sarah Perry comes from a small town in Maine, not far from where I grew up, which is part of why I read their memoir. Although I hadn't heard of her mother's death, I feel drawn to reading 'local' books. Perry was witness to her mother's brutal murder; this memoir follows her childhood before and after the incident, her relationships with her mother and those around them, and the lengthy journey it took to find the killer. Emily Woo Zeller reads the audiobook and her voice fits incredibly well, I highly recommend listening if you're able. The story as a whole is devastating and very well-done.
