This was a fascinating book! How well do we really know our parents? Especially a parent that might have been taken from us at a young age? Artis Henderson uses this book to explore the rumors about her father, his death, and the complexities of being a good person while being on the other side of the law.

When Artis was very young, her father took her up in his plane (a normal occurrence for them), but this time, the plane crashed, killing her father, but leaving her to survive with multiple injuries. At the time of the crash there were incitements against her father for running drugs on his plane into the US. After his death, her mother isolated them from all his known associates.

We not only learn about what kind of man Artis' father was, but we are also privy to the conspiracies and the fact that the government might have had more to cover up than to prosecute.

Not only was this book interesting, but it brought forth the humanity of her father. Not all people who break the law are bad people, some just want a better life for their family (and then get in too deep?). The first half was good, the second half was exciting!

Thank you to Net Galley for giving me a copy of this book. The opinions are all my own.
