My sunshine away

Instant New York Times BestsellerAn Entertainment Weekly 'Must List' Pick“The last page is as satisfying as the first.” —Kathryn Stockett“I really loved this book... I can't praise it enough.”—Anne Rice“It's a book to read and reread, one that will only get better with time.”—Tom FranklinIt was the summer everything changed.…My Sunshine Away unfolds in a Baton Rouge neighborhood best known for cookouts on sweltering summer afternoons, cauldrons of spicy crawfish, and passionate football fandom. But in the summer of 1989, when fifteen-year-old Lindy Simpson—free spirit, track star, and belle of the block—experiences a horrible crime late one evening near her home, it becomes apparent that this idyllic stretch of Southern suburbia has a dark side, too.In My Sunshine Away, M.O. Walsh brilliantly juxtaposes the enchantment of a charmed childhood with the gripping story of a violent crime, unraveling families, and consuming adolescent love. Acutely wise and deeply honest, it is an astonishing and page-turning debut about the meaning of family, the power of memory, and our ability to forgive.
