A nearly normal family / M.T. Edvardsson ; translated by Rachel Willson-Broyles.
"Eighteen-year-old Stella Sandell stands accused of the brutal murder of a man almost fifteen years her senior. She is an ordinary teenager from an upstanding local family. What reason could she have to know a shady businessman, let alone to kill him? Stella's father, a pastor, and mother, a criminal defense attorney, find their moral compasses tested as they defend their daughter, while struggling to understand why she is a suspect. Told in an unusual three-part structure, [this book] asks the questions: How well do you know your own children? How far would you go to protect them?"-- Publisher's description.
