A Nearly Normal Family: A Novel A Nearly Normal Family: A Novel by M.T. Edvardsson and Rachel Willson-Broyles

Stella Sandell is 18 years old and stands accused of murder. The brutal murder of a successful business man. Her parents are successful and prominent figures in the community. Adam is a pastor and the arrest of his daughter has shaken his belief system.  Ulrika is a criminal defense attorney and the law is incredibly important to her. They are both faced with some major obstacles to overcome in their personal and professional lives.

The story is told by 3 different narrators, Stella, Adam and Ulrika. The story starts off strong and then slowly unfolds. It winds back and forth unraveling in a courtroom trial and flash back memories.I liked the book but didn't love it. It doesn't move as  fast as I would like and none of the character's are likable however I do see how the read could be interesting to some because it comes down to moral character and how choices we make change our lives and that of others.
