Sunday is Mother's Day so mushy stuff abounds. Old friend Elaine posted this on Facebook yesterday. Anything? Really?I just finished Defending Jacob and am haunted by its unexpected ending. If anyone reading this post plans to read the book - WARNING - spoiler alert!
**************************************
The mom in the story realizes that her 14 year old son has committed two heinous murders of fellow teenagers that he will never be prosecuted or punished for, other than being suspected, loathed and feared for the rest of his life. Serial murderer is sure to be his future occupation. Her husband - who narrates the story - appears to be in denial, unable to confront the obvious. She chooses to murder her son by driving both of them off an embankment and into a cement wall.
Her last words to him - I love you.
