SMITHEREENS Book Hardback Fiction by Susan Taylor Chehak Published by Doubleday

SUMMARY: This compelling novel, set once again in the heartland of America, pairs two friends in a dark tale of seduction and murder. It is May Caldwell‘s sixteenth summer, and life couldn’t be more dull in Linwood, Iowa. Vaguely suicidal and haunted by half-remembered scenes from her early childhood, May is a girl waiting for her life to happen. And happen it does with the unexpected arrival of Frances Anne Crane, a.k.a. Frankie, a girl with too much past and nothing to lose. Together they seduce an older man as Frankie awakens all that May has been holding inside: the mystery of her uncle Brodie‘s illicit past, the painful truth of her grandparents’ slow dissolutions, and her own emerging sexuality. Where Frankie leads, May follows, and what’s left is a murder no one can pin, a family’s buried past resurfaced in a wild night of mayhem, and May’s safe world blown to smithereens in this unforgettable tale of betrayal and desire.
