Description
"Haunting and heroic...SINS OF THE FATHER sets itself apart from other true-crime thrillers....A story of the paraylyzing power of memories." LOS ANGELES TIMES On a lovely fall day in 1969, a peaceful middle-class suburb, Eileen Franklin's father raped and killed her best friend, Susan. And then she repressed the memory for nearly twenty years. Soon Eileen was assaulted with memories of her violent family life, and her own terror, pain, and loneliness. As a child, she had never expected to live very long, and now she understood the reason why--and that she would have to act in the name of justice.... From the Paperback edition.
