I am only recommending this book to mature readers.
Children need parents to raise them. Even eighteen-year-old Hayley Kincain needs her
father Andy’s guidance and wisdom. The
only problem is that Andy is what is known as a “damaged” dad.
Andy has served two tours of duty in Iraq and two tours in
Afghanistan. His personal demons from
these tours of duty have affected every area of his life.
Unable to hold down a steady job, Andy and Hayley have moved
around a great deal. Finally, they have returned to the small town where Hayley
was born so she can attend high school for the first time.
Hayley’s mom Rebecca died when she was very young. Haley’s grandma raised Hayley after her mom
died while Andy served in the war. Since
her grandmother’s death, Andy has tried to be her father.
The trouble with Hayley is that Andy has become an alcoholic. He doesn’t sleep well, and depends upon
Hayley to be the strength of the family.
When Andy’s second wife Trish comes to town, Hayley can’t
forgive her for deserting them.
Will Hayley be able to overcome those major issues- fear of
abandonment, a father who resists any help offered, a step-mother she can’t
tolerate, and a high school schedule she finds restrictive? Will Finn, the boy
she meets in high school be able to cope with Hayley’s many issues?
Read The Impossible
Knife of Memory to find out.
