Litigation lawyer and harried single mother Kate Baron is
shocked when her daughter's exclusive Brooklyn private school calls
to tell her that Amelia--her intelligent, high-achieving
fifteen-year-old--has been caught cheating. But when Kate arrives
at Grace Hall, she's blindsided by far more devastating news:
Amelia is dead. Despondent, she's jumped from the school's roof. At
least that's what Grace Hall and the police tell Kate. It's what
she believes, too, until she gets the anonymous text: Amelia didn't
jump. Now, Kate is going to find the truth--no matter where it
leads. Sifting through Amelia's e-mails, text messages, and
Facebook posts, Kate reconstructs the pieces of her daughter's life
and the people in it, uncovering why she was on Grace Hall's roof
that day--and how she died.
A superb blend of Tana French and Jodi Picoult, Reconstructing
Amelia is a story of secrets and lies, friends and bullies. It's
about how well any parent really knows their child and how far one
mother will go to vindicate the memory of a daughter whose life she
could not save.
