This was a well-written book but the subject matter was deep! It takes place during one day with lots of flashbacks to fill in the back story. It is based on a real life event in Craft's life. This is the story of Ronnie (Veronica), her husband Jeff, their two children, Will and Andrew, Beverly (Ronnie's mom) and Janet (Jeff's mom). When the book begins we know that Ronnie and Jeff are on the verge of divorce. Today is the day Jeff is to move out of the house. He does not want the marriage to end. Her kids run to Ronnie to tell her that daddy is drunk and he has a gun. Soon the police are involved in a standoff with Jeff. Ronnie and the kids are safely taken from the home and taken to another location where they spend the day with Beverly and Janet. We often see this type of tragedy on TV but in this story we see it all from the point of view of the family.
The background story of how this day came to be was riveting, emotional and fascinating. It was a good book!
