A Mystery/Thriller prequel novella based on disturbing reality.

Close your eyes and remember when you were a high school senior. Playing sports, hanging out with friends, dances and maybe—if you were lucky—dating. Life was relaxed and carefree, right? Not the case for young Mac MacKenna.

His father is an alcoholic. His mother is an enabler. His sister, a moody nursing school attendee who, like Mac, hopes to move away from home as soon as possible.

Before Mac can escape his parents' home, he goes head-to-head with his father in an attempt to make life better for his mother and grandfather.

As high school graduation day and freedom are within reach tragedy strikes Mac's family. There's only one person to blame for the unthinkable crime—his father—Mac's determined to get to the truth.
