De la contraportada
"BREAKING HER FALL is a frank, plain-spoken, passionate novel that got its grips on me. It is, in one sense, a page turner, and in another a true and good story of human frailty and imperfection survived." - Richard Ford
On an ordinary summer night in 1998, my daughter, Kathryn - Kat, we all called her, a fourteen-year-old who still liked to wear her blond hair in pigtails - told me that she was going to the movies with Abby, her best friend, but they never got there. Instead, they hooked up with some other kids, and decided to blow off the movie. It was a hot, dense Washington night, and one of the boys - Jed Vandenberg - invited everybody back to his house. He had a pool. His parents were away. The kids started drinking beer and vodka shooters. Just before eleven, when Kat was supposed to phone to let me know she was safe at Abby's house, I got a call from a stranger.
