This book begins with Veronica Swan detailing how she plans to kill the man who murdered her twin baby sisters. The book then continues with her account of life as her Mormon family used to be before the deaths of her sisters. We get to know the girls as well as Veronica's parents very well. The story leads to the murderer: Scott Early and how he came to be mentally ill. Veronica's parents blow her away when they unexpectedly forgive Scott Early of his random viscous act. He had no connection to the girls at all, just murdered them in their family's barn. Scott continues to lead a normal life on medication that keeps him stable. When Veronica finds out that Scott has a wife and a baby in California, she moves there to understand how her parents could possibly forgive him. Veronica changes her identity and even becomes the Early's babysitter! I won't give away the ending, this book was really good.
