The Why of Things

More about the book

Since the tragic loss of her seventeen-year-old daughter less than a year ago, Joan Jacobs has been working hard to keep her tight-knit family from coming apart. The family flees to their summer home in search of peace and renewal, but moments after arrival they are confronted with an eerily similar tragedy: a pickup truck crashes into the quarry in their backyard. Within hours, the local police drag up the body of a young man, James Favazza.
