This riveting and eloquent true story take the reader through a parent's worst nightmare as a 21-year-old youth is killed by a habitual traffic offender. The family begins to investigate the circumstances surrounding the "accident" and finds lurking behind the surface a host of social ills -a- history of behaviors which many observers in the community had predicted would lead to tragic results. The narrative is a mesmerizing account of how one family untangles the mysteries of their child's death, grapples with the rage and grief brought about by injustice and the unbearable loss of their only child; the family forces an unresponsive fast-growing suburban community to look at its own patterns of child-rearing and calls to task all those who could have prevented the wreck by responsibly conducting their natural duties, and, finally, how the family comes to accept their new life. A unique, literary non-fiction book, THE ETHAN CHRONICLES is a must-read for parents, educators, law enforcement officials, and drivers of all ages
