The debut novel everyone is talking about... ? 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 Franklin ? It 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.? ?
