In one split second, everything can be Wrecked
Wrecked by E. R. FrankWrecked is the kind of book that haunts you with its stark look at one dysfunctional family and what happens when the teenage daughter gets in fatal car accident. I assumed that the daughter was drunk and this would be a cautionary tale of drunk driving; it wasn’t. I thought this might bring the family together and heal them; it doesn’t. This book is too real to have a candy coated moral.
Anna drives her best friend Ellen home from a party, and unusual road conditions lead to a wreck with another car. The driver of the second car, Cameron, is killed. Anna almost loses her eyesight and Ellen is seriously injured and hospitalized. The story is not about fault or blame, but recovery. How does one recover emotionally from such a life changing event? And how does the fact that Cameron was Anna’s brother’s girlfriend impact the family? A fascinating tale that may require you to have a box of tissues nearby.
