The Good Daughter
by Karin Slaughter
Book Overview
Twenty-eight years after a home invasion shatters their family, sisters Charlotte and Samantha Quinn live on separate tracks, each marked by that night. Charlotte, a defense attorney in their hometown, witnesses a school shooting that tears open every sealed scar, pulling Samantha—a brilliant, guarded patent lawyer—back to face what she fled. As the case unspools, they reexamine the nightmare of their childhood, unearth secrets that warp their memories, and test the fragile bond that holds them together. The Good Daughter probes the cost of violence, the slipperiness of memory, and the volatile loyalty between sisters.
