One dead father. One lying mother. One giant secret.
12-year-old Rocky’s father dies suddenly, and he learns the “his heart stopped” story is bogus. Immediately after the funeral, his mother sticks the For-Sale sign in the lawn and whisks them out of town as if living there has become too dangerous. As his trust in his one remaining parent unravels, Rocky is determined to crack the secret about how his father really died.
For Rocky, the road to the truth involves eavesdropping, snooping, and listening to advice from his dead father who urges him on a risky journey.
Will Rocky have to rethink who was the father he thought he knew? Sometimes it may be better to let a secret stay hidden.

Born in Boston with the accent to prove it, Risa lived within ten miles of the city for decades until a recent move to the neighboring Ocean State.
For many years, Risa worked in a nonpartisan, not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting active participation in our democracy, with a special focus on voting and elections.
Risa’s deep dive into creative writing started with finding three pennies in a neat stack in a completely empty apartment that belonged to her mother. It’s a long story.
When not writing, Risa is reading, exercising or doing therapeutic ironing (yes, there is such a thing.)

I’m intrigued, especially the part where his dead father is talking to him😁
Love the cover. Excerpt sounds intriguing!
It’s not as far fetched as one might imagine- a neighbor of ours insisted ( against the religious beliefs of his family) that his wife be cremated immediately after she died, it turns out that he poisoned her. As luck would have it, the coroner was the woman’s uncle.
I like the title.
interesting title
Great excerpt and giveaway. 🙂
Sounds good.
