Close To the Broken Hearted (An Alvin, Alabama Novel)

â€œThereâ€™s something mesmerizing about Hiebertâ€™s storytelling voice.â€ --The New York Times Book Review

In this riveting novel from the author of the acclaimed Dream with Little Angels, a killerâ€™s release is the catalyst for shocking revelations in a small Southern townâ€¦
Â
At twenty-two, Sylvie Carson has known a lifetimeâ€™s worth of trouble. When she was a child, her baby brother was shot to death by a man named Preacher Eli. Orphaned by her teens, Sylvie is now raising her own baby with no partner in sight. Thatâ€™s why Leah Teal, Alvin, Alabamaâ€™s only detective, tries to stay patient when Sylvie calls the station day and night, always with some new false alarm. But now Preacher Eli is out of prison, moving back to townâ€”and Sylvieâ€™s panic is mounting.
Â
As far as the law goes, the old man has paid his duesâ€”though Leahâ€™s twelve-year-old son, Abe, strongly disagrees. Between that and his relentless curiosity about the daddy he hardly knew, Abeâ€™s imagination is running in all directions lately. While Leah struggles with how much to tell him, sheâ€™s also concerned about Sylvie. Something tells her the girl might be a target after all. Itâ€™s a hunch that will be tested soon enough, as secrets and lies from both sides collideâ€¦
