Raising John by Jennifer Lesher

disclosure

Of course, it’s a tragedy when someone is killed by a drunk driver. This isn’t just a single event that is over in an instant. It has a lasting impact on those who are still living – the driver who was drunk and the loved ones who remain.

This is the story of the drunk driver who ended up in prison, the little boy who lost a mother and the woman who lost her daughter and then raised her grandson. The novel goes beyond the typical ‘made for TV movie’ that wraps it all up with a happy ending. We really get to know the characters and their history. The story has unpredictable twists and turns that make it interesting.

Author Jennifer Lesher has written short stories that are available for Kindle. Raising John is her first novel and I’m hoping she’ll continue to write.

 

Raising John
by Jennifer Lesher
isbn 978-0991057023
Pub. date 11/24/13

Description: “How do you go on living when you have done the unforgivable? How do you love a mother you barely remember? John is an orphan who misses the mother he hardly knew. Robert is the drunk driver who killed her. As the story opens we meet 4-year-old John, who wonders why his mother had to die. Robert wakes up in lockup, expecting to sleep off a blackout and go home, until he learns of the accident he caused. John grows up under the care of his devoted maternal grandmother, who grapples with guilt over her daughter’s past. Just as John is on the cusp of manhood, he must confront his mother’s death anew and question everything he has come to believe about himself and the people he loves.”
