The Promised World by Lisa Tucker

3.0

Lila is incredibly close to her twin brother Billy, so when she finds out that he has intentionally died at the hands of the police, she is at a loss for words. Lila desperately tries to understand why Billy would choose "suicide by police," and her search leads to places that no one expected. The book deals with Lila's relationship with her husband and her brother, while also focusing on Billy's relationship with his family and his children. The book has many flashbacks as the reader tries to understand Billy and Lila's backstory and what got them to this point in life. While confusing at times, the end ties everything together and allows you to better understand their life.
