Now see what Karen thought about it:
Safe Keeping
by Barbara Taylor Sissel is about a family whose 34-yr.-old son,
Tucker, is charged with murder. His father, Joe, is a disabled Vietnam
vet with PTSD who constantly lives with regret of holding a gun on
Tucker when
he was only 4-yrs-old and locking him in the closet. His mother, Emily
and older sister, Lissa have always been protective of Tucker and want
to believe in his innocence. When Lissa finds out she is pregnant, she
is afraid of becoming a mother because of
all the pain her parents went through with Tucker and considers having
an abortion, which causes friction between her and her husband, Evan.
The question is, is Emily and Joe’s son really a murderer?
This
book is all about the family and the effects of that horrible day when
Joe flipped out with Tucker. Tucker claims he is innocent of murder but
there is a lot of circumstantial evidence against him. I liked this
book and thought the
ending was great! It also has discussions questions that could be used
for a book club. (Karen's review, 4 stars)
