Blood

"Mobile, Alabama, 1986. A fourteen-year-old girl is awakened by the unmistakable sound of gunfire. On the front lawn, her father has shot and killed her mother before turning the gun on himself. Allison Moorer would grow up to be an award-winning musician. ... Now, Allison uses her lyrical storytelling powers on a journey to understand the unthinkable, to parse the unknowable, and to lay bare the memories and impressions that make a family, and that tear a family apart." --adapted from cover.
