Drowning Ruth

by Christina Schwarz
In the winter of 1919, a young mother named Mathilda Neumann drowns beneath the ice of a rural Wisconsin lake. The shock of her death dramatically changes the lives of her daughter, troubled sister, and husband. . .Told in the voices of several of the main characters and skipping back and forth in time, the narrative gradually and tantalizingly reveals the dark family secrets and the unsettling discoveries that lead to the truth of what actually happened the night of the drowning.

"I really liked this twisted family portrait. Very well-written and kept you guessing up to the very end. It was a definite page turner and brought out some definite controversy during that period of time." Sherrie
