The author of "The Deep End of the Ocean" delivers a compelling, emotionally charged tale of tragedy, revenge, and redemption. Twelve-year-old Veronica Swan's idyllic life in a close-knit Mormon community is shattered when her two younger sisters are brutally murdered. Although her parents find the strength to forgive the deranged killer, Scott Early, Veronica cannot do the same. Years later, she sets out alone to avenge her sisters' deaths, dropping her identity and severing ties in the process. As she closes in on Early, Veronica will discover the true meaning of sin and compassion, before she makes a decision that will change her and her family's lives forever.

Veronica "Ronnie" Swan, a sheltered Mormon girl, is yanked into the larger world by the tragedy that begins this audiobook: the brutal murder of her two younger sisters. What follows is a cohesive, often brilliantly written, story of revenge, redemption, and peace, a story from which one cannot look away. Hope Davis's performance is spot-on as her voice reveals Ronnie's innocence and earnestness, maintaining consistency as the years pass. While some of the adult dialogue sounds overly dramatic, that's how it's written. Further, this quality clarifies to the listener that the story's true strength lies in Veronica's voice. Ronnie's emotional and personal journey is timeless, and Davis's vocal portrayal of her growth is ideal. L.B.F. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
