Family Facade

About the Book

On a rainy November evening, Judy Schwartz and her twelve year old daughter, Kate, set out from their home in a modest-sized Midwestern town, with the intention of having a quiet dinner at the home of Anna, Judy’s younger sister and closest friend. Within a few brief minutes, Judy’s 1967 Buick Lesabre careens off the highway and the women crash through a guard rail at the edge of Van Gunn Lake. They are plunged into the dark, icy lake water. Was it simply an accident or is foul play afoot? There is one tenacious person who is determined to find out!
