Cage of Stars by Jacquelyn Mitchard (Hardcover 1st edition)
Murder rips a Mormon family apart in this novel by the author of the bestselling THE DEEP END OF THE OCEAN. Playing hide-and-seek with her two younger sisters, Becky and Ruthie, 12-year-old Veronica "Ronnie" Swan blames herself for not being there when Scott Early murders the two little girls. Her pain redoubles when Scott Early, diagnosed as schizophrenic, is sent to a mental hospital, not prison, and actually gets released within three years. Although her grieving parents eventually find peace through forgiveness, Ronnie decides to solace herself with revenge on Early instead.
