The Caretakers

1972, one year before the Roe v. Wade decision ... IF ever there was a case for justifiable homicide, this most certainly would be one. Only a few months shy of earning his law degree, Jasper Jamieson was desperate to recall all he had learned about the legal justification for killing another human being so he could validate the killing of the son-of-a-bitch that did this to his sister.

1987, Jasper's eleven year old daughter Caroline, discovers a small cross hidden along the riverbank near the home where her father grew up; a cross that bears the date March 24, 1972, and carries with it a powerful silence.

The opening pages of Shauna Nosler's dramatic debut novel, The Caretakers, will fully engross you with a storyline that will tug at your very soul and petition your sense of right and wrong. With descriptions so vivid and characters so endearing, you will find yourself craving their continuation.
