Description
July knows eighteen things about her mother, but not the truth. In the summer of 1995, on her tenth birthday, July’s teacher asks the class to investigate a relative they do not know. July chooses her mother, who died when she was small and whose death her father refuses to discuss. Her only memories are flashbacks from the accident that supposedly claimed her mother’s life. Then she receives a note: “She didn’t die in a car accident.” Determined to discover what really happened, July cycles around the street where her family once lived and questions the neighbours. After being caught snooping around a crumbling house, she learns that the man living there was the last person to see her mother alive. In his version of events, he is a hero; to everyone else, he is anything but. This compelling and moving mystery explores family, community and the secrets people keep to protect those they love.
