This Month's Feature Book
Hit and Run
By Lurlene McDaniel
|
 |
When Analise does not return home from babysitting one night her parents immediately call everyone, including the police, to try and find her. They have no luck until the next morning when her badly injured body is found off the side of a road, where they believe she was struck by a car when riding home on her bike. Analise’s parents and boyfriend are determined to find out who did this, but as time goes on the leads begin to go cold. Meanwhile, Laurie is horrified when she hears about the accident because she believes she might know something about it. The problem is that she has to decide if she should come forward with this information or use it to better her own life by blackmailing someone. Will Laurie make the right decision or will Analise’s attack go unsolved?
Lurlene McDaniel provides a gripping tale told in many perspectives as several different characters try to cope in the aftermath of this hit and run. The motivations of the characters are clearly portrayed as the reader sees how they all react to this tragedy.
