Description

John Watson, a crime reporter in Florida, feeling threatened by a potential "stand your ground” trial, moves to Denver with his wife, Diana. But they continue to be confronted with episodes of random gun violence in Colorado.

Unable to have their own children, they adopt a nine year old boy and a nine year old girl. Their daughter, Trish, likes playing soccer and does very well in school. Their son, Brian, is bullied in school and grows up to become a disturbed young man with an uncommon fondness for guns.

This important new book offers a reflection on gun violence in America today and shows the impact it can have on a family.

Midwest Book Review calls this new novel is "a chilling but inherently fascinating read!"

This was such a fast and easy read. You got into the book quickly and into the story. Highly recommend.
Thanks to author, publisher and NetGalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free, it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

John and Brian are well crafted characters who take you down some holes you may not be comfortable in. I liked the way it didn't turn into a pro or anti gun rant disguised as a novel. Quick read and worth the time
