My Sunshine Away
$5.00
"My Sunshine Away" by M.O. Walsh is a mesmerizing and deeply moving novel set in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, during the late 1980s. The story centers around a tragic event—the assault of fifteen-year-old Lindy Simpson, a neighborhood golden girl—which shakes the suburban community to its core. Narrated by a fourteen-year-old boy who is infatuated with Lindy and becomes one of the initial suspects, the novel delves into themes of obsession, guilt, and the loss of innocence. As the narrator reflects on that pivotal summer and its impact on everyone involved, Walsh masterfully explores the complexities of human nature, memory, and the process of healing.
