The Mourning Hours by Paula Treick DeBoard
4.0
An easy to read first person narrative, this story is told primarily through a nine year old girl's point of view. Her name is Kirsten, and in the early 90's her teenage brother goes on a date with his girlfriend, and the girlfriend Stacy Lemke, is never seen again.
From the beginning, this seemed a twisted story, maybe even dark. More than anything, this book takes you through what happens to Kirsten and her family as a result of the suspicions cast over her brother, who was the last person to see Stacy alive. Did her brother kill Stacy or not? I wish there was alittle more details about why grandfather had issue with the mother. But over all this book hit all the right spots for me at this point int time. Fast forward to present time, and the story continues and there is an ending (no having to guess what happened to the characters after which was very satisfying for this story).
