When a girl goes missing, a family’s loyalty is put to the ultimate test.
Kirsten Hammarstrom hasn’t been back to her Wisconsin hometown in years—not since the mysterious disappearance of a local teenage girl rocked the small community and shattered her family. Kirsten was just nine years old when the girl went missing, and the last person who saw her alive was the girl's boyfriend—Kirsten’s older brother. No one knew what to believe, but the event unhinged the town and put Kirsten’s family beneath the crushing weight of suspicion. When a new tragedy forces Kirsten and her siblings to return home, they must confront the horrible event that changed everything all those years ago. Chilling and suspenseful, The Mourning Hours is one family's gripping story of loyalty, betrayal and forgiveness. |
