The Murderer's Daughters by Randy Susan Meyers

This one is a great debut novel. The book spans about 3 decades. Lulu is looking forward to her tenth birthday. She is watching over her five year old sister while her mom rests. A pounding at the door send fear into Lulu. It is her father - and he's been drinking. His wife had kicked him out and he wants to come back. Lulu's mother had warned her not to let her father in if he showed up. But she is only a child and it's her father who is telling her that it is okay to open the door. If you paid attention to the title you know what happens next. The story is about these two sister and the fallout of that fateful day. The characters have a lot of depth and were interesting. I found the psychological aspects of the book fascinating. Once you start this book you won't want to put it down. I look forward to more novels by this author.
