Rabbit Heart by Kristine S. ErvinKristine S. Ervin was just eight years old when her mother, Kathy Sue Engle, was abducted from an Oklahoma mall parking lot and violently murdered in an oil field. First, there was grief. Then the desire to know: what happened to her, what she felt in her last terrible moments, and all she was before these acts of violence defined her life. As more information about her mother's death comes to light, Ervin's drive to know her mother only intensifies. In the process, she reckons with contradictions of what a woman is allowed to be, what a "true" victim is supposed to look like, and, finally, how complicated and elusive justice can be.
