“She drifted in an endless black slumber marred only by white
hot flashes of pain. She tried to rouse herself from her terrible
nightmare. When she finally regained consciousness, terror flooded her
with the realization that she was still entombed in darkness and pain,
and her nightmare was only beginning.”
Kelly Malloy is a wife, a mother and a successful lawyer whose world is
shattered when she is brutally attacked while running along the banks of
the Brandywine River. Chad McCloskey, a lonely teenage boy from a
dysfunctional home, stumbles upon Kelly Malloy’s unconscious body
immediately after the assault, and he is falsely accused of the crime
after he tries to help her. Maria Hernandez, a young woman who emigrated
illegally from Mexico, is reluctantly thrust into the role of witness
to the crime, putting her in jeopardy of deportation only weeks before
she is to give birth to her child. Kelly, Chad and Maria all suffer
tremendous adversity in the wake of the crime, and they ultimately
discover that their lives and their fate are inextricably and
permanently connected. Long Hill Home is a story of crime, mystery and
the legal process—but it is also a story about the human condition, and
how, regardless of vast differences in background or circumstances, all
people strive for the same things—security, a fulfilling life, and, most
importantly, love.

REVIEW
I found the book to be rather sad but interesting at the same time. You had to feel bad for Kelly as well as Chad. Kelly had been attacked and working hard to get back to normal so her husband and kids wouldn't leave. her. Chad was very young to have to decide if he should try to help Kelly or just forget it. Being arrested for such an awful crime and dealing with life in jail wasn't much to look forward to. His dad was hard to deal with too. The author wrote a story that was actually fiction but as you read it, it seems real. It could and does happen. I won't give you the ending. I'll let you figure that out for yourself. Written well and good plot.
I received a complimentary copy of LONG HILL HOME from the author, Kathryn Pincus and Night Owl Reviews for my view of the book.
I would give this book 4 STARS.
