NOTHING CAN HURT YOU, Nicola Maye Goldberg
On a cold day in 1997, student Sara Morgan was brutally murdered in the woods surrounding her liberal arts college. Her boyfriend, Blake Campbell, confessed, only to be acquitted following a plea of temporary insanity. In the wake of this senseless act of violence, the case comes to haunt a strange and surprising network of people, from the young woman who discovers Sara’s body to the junior reporter who senses its connection to convicted local serial killer John Logan.
As the years pass, others search for meaning or, in some cases, retribution. Sara’s half-sister, stifled by her family’s bereft silence about Blake, poses as a babysitter and seeks out her own form of justice. Meanwhile a teenager Sara used to babysit starts writing to serial killer Logan in prison, sharing her everyday experiences in a diary-like series of letters.
