She began her own investigation, one that drew her back to Maine, deep into the darkness of a small American town. It was not her mother’s death she wanted to understand, but her life. She dreamed of a trial, but when the day came, it brought no closure. In that time, Sarah rebuilt her life amid abandonment, police interrogations, and the exacting toll of trauma. But that moment of darkness foreshadowed a much larger one: two days later, Crystal was murdered in their home in rural Maine. When Sarah Perry was twelve, she saw a partial eclipse she took it as a good omen for her and her mother, Crystal. A fierce memoir of a mother’s murder, a daughter’s coming-of-age in the wake of immense loss, and her mission to know the woman who gave her life. A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice.
