Back Roads by Tawni O'Dell

Man this book sure makes me appreciate my normal childhood.

The book is about a nineteen/twenty year old boy who is raising his three sisters because his Mom is in jail for murdering their abusive father. He gets involved with one of his sister's friends Mom. He falls in love and she is murdered.

Through his interrogation with the police his childhood and life is revealed. His sister turned to him for comfort through the abuse of his father and they were sexually involved.

It took a lot of twists and nothing was as it seemed as he discovers through the novel.

It was a great book, very gritty.

My Grade: B+
