Fee Finneman has a secret. If revealed, her dearest loved ones could end up in prison—or
be hailed as national heroes. But Fee has another secret—a secret buried deep within her
subconscious; a secret so sinister that, if surfaced, could hijack her very soul.
Scarred by early childhood abuse and the psychological trauma that can linger for a
lifetime, Fee finds refuge in the natural world, immersing herself in the competitive sport of
birding.
But trauma does not stay silent. As she careens toward adolescence, she loses focus. She
begins making reckless decisions that threaten everything she has built. With her world
unraveling, she must confront the darkest corners of her own mind or lose herself
completely.
Crimes of Endearment is a gripping coming-of-age novel about abuse, trauma, resilience,
and the devastating consequences of denial. If you enjoy emotionally intense fiction,
complex female protagonists, and suspense rooted in psychological realism, this novel will
stay with you long after the final page.
Crimes of Endearment is guaranteed to tug at the heartstrings of any reader with a
pulse.
