I love a good dysfunctional family and this book hints about a couple of them. Two cops are neighbors, one family seems to be thriving, the other is held down by the mentally ill wife who makes life hard for everyone. The kids from the two houses are allies, best friends, future lovers? Then tragedy strikes and their relationships are forever changed. In the dysfunctional house, the mother is put away, the dad disappears and the kid ends up living with his uncle. In the other house, the family is now coping with injury and trauma.
This inter-generational story follows these two families and where they end up. Everyone has some issues but not always the ones you would suspect. Enjoyable, not too hard-core.
