More about the book

The narrative delves into the tragic events surrounding the deaths of two students at Kalamazoo College during Homecoming weekend in 1999. Through an intimate exploration, the author seeks to understand the motivations behind Neenef Odah's shocking act of violence against his ex-girlfriend, Maggie Wardle, and the subsequent impact on their close-knit community. This examination not only confronts the question of how such a tragedy could occur among seemingly normal individuals but also reflects on the broader implications for campus life and mental health.
