Whistling in the dark
Lesley Kagen.
Sally O'Malley has defiantly had a summer to remember.
Set in the summer of 1959, Whistling in the dark focuses on the turbulent life of the O'Malley sisters. After their mother is hospitalized, ten year old Sally and nine year old Troo O'Malley are left in the care of an alcoholic and abusive step father and a disinterested older sister. Thanks to a neighborhood of vastly different but caring characters, the girls find hot meals and watchful eyes. Unfortunately, Sally is also under the watchful eye of a predator. After the abuse and murder of two neighborhood girls, Sally knows she is next - unless she can find and stop the killer first.
With many twists and turns, Lesley Kagen has written a marvelous and heart warming story about life, love, and growing up.
