Whistling In The Dark

by Lesley Kagen, KAGEN LESLEY

New American Library | June 8, 2009 | Trade Paperback

It was the summer on Vliet Street when we all started locking our doors...

Sally O''Malley made a promise to her daddy before he died. She swore she''d look after her sister, Troo. Keep her safe. But like her Granny always said-actions speak louder than words. Now, during the summer of 1959, the girls'' mother is hospitalized, their stepfather has abandoned them for a six pack, and their big sister, Nell, is too busy making out with her boyfriend to notice that Sally and Troo are on the Loose. And so is a murderer and molester.

Highly imaginative Sally is pretty sure of two things. Who the killer is. And that she''s next on his list. Now she has no choice but to protect herself and Troo as best she can, relying on her own courage and the kindness of her neighbors.

    What a treat to read a book that is filled with love and positive, loving people that you hate to leave when the story is told.
    From the love Sally has for Troo and how she looks out for her - to the love for her father and Ethel and a number of people she is fortunate to have in her life.
    Sally shows such powerful strength in character for one so young.
    Easy reading - the situation totally believable for the time - the story so very well told ..
    This book has the wonderful heart of "The Secret Life of Bees " - If you have not read it - Make both of these a priority. Well worth your while.
