this has got to be the saddest story i ever read. when i first bought the book i was on vacation visiting husband's family in a really small town in illinois, where there really wasn't much going on...i found a bookstore there and saw the book on the shelf. actually i only bought it to pass the time while waiting arrival of other family members. once i started reading the book i couldnt put it down. i read the whole book in one day...its so sad definately worth reading. the troubles this one family face
particularly the young man that watched these 4 men push him and his cousins off the bridge at 75 feet to their death only the boy to survive the ordeal and then be accused of murdering them himself.
what this one family went thru is still so unbelievable that it could actually occur here in the us. tragic and sad story...but worth reading.
