This was another exciting mystery thriller from Patricia MacDonald. (I'm going to be really sad when I get through all her books; I've already read almost twenty!)
Nina Avery is the youngest of three teenagers in suburban New Jersey in 1988, and she's got the usual types of worries of a girl her age: the crush she has on the boy next door, her new part in the school play, and her parents' constant fighting. Then her mother is murdered one night and her father blamed, but Nina just can't believe it's true.
Although her brothers reluctantly accept their father's guilt, Nina keeps believing that her father is innocent, even after his conviction. She vows to help him get back on his feet when he's finally paroled fifteen years after the murder, and brings him to her Manhattan apartment to live. But when Dad wants to go back to their old hometown and start trying to clear his name, Nina's not sure it's a good idea...
A great story!
