Race plays a major role in this family drama. It turns out, James and Marilyn Lee hadn’t done as good a job concealing their own struggles from their children as they’d thought. Their bright, popular, bubbly girl was in fact a ball of angst with few friends and slipping grades. As an investigation plays out in the background, they realise they didn’t know Lydia – or each other – as well as they thought. Lydia’s death forces everyone in the Lee family to reevaluate their lives, and reveals some hard home truths. It’s in the blurb, it’s in the first sentence, and Lydia’s body has been found by the end of the first chapter. That sounds like a spoiler, but it isn’t. Except that their middle child, Lydia, is dead… and they don’t know it, yet. The Lee family appears to be average in every way – working father, stay-at-home mother, three kids and a comfortable home in Ohio.
