Unraveling Shadows: The Chilling Truth Behind Eddy Crane’s Disappearance and a Family’s Dark Secrets
I first became a writer by exsanguinating this story of vitality and meaning. I needed the fundamental story of my life to be bloodless.
I buried it. It refused to stay down. Twenty years after September 10, 1987, I came to a crossroads and a choice: Die by silence, or survive by telling. I chose to live.”
The book is journalism and it is also memoir: how do you live when your whole life is a search for an answer to a question that may have no answer? It is well-written and well-crafted; I thought this book was a beautiful combination of elegy and manifesto. Crane shows us the confused and scared little girl, the lost young adult, and the grown up who takes charge. We watch her evolve out of an unbelievable situation that not many can relate to.
