The Untelling Book

DESCRIPTION: When Aria Jackson was nine, she lived through a car crash that killed her father and baby brother. The tragedy left the surviving members wounded by rage and guilt, pulling away from each other in an attempt to distance themselves from the pain. At 25, Aria has done her best to establish a normal life for herself, living in Atlanta and teaching literacy to inner-city teenaged girls. For the first time, she has people who love her and in whom she can confide. And when she discovers that she may be pregnant, Aria is seduced by the promise of a normal family. Then everything changes in ways she never anticipated. As she unearths secrets about family and friends and mediates between her past and her altered reality, she searches for the courage to divulge one heartbreaking revelation after another. With prose that is both eloquent and unflinching, Jones charts the emotional journey of her characters as they explore the painful territory of truth and the healing landscape of forgiveness.Read More
