Riley May & Ray

By Donna Shilts

This novella is a story about a tragedy. In 1960, when Riley May was eight, a crime was committed. A crime so hideous that now, at thirteen, she is reportedly serving a life sentence. Overcome by feelings of grief, torment, and prolonged suffering, she sequesters herself in order to come to terms with her misfortune. It is not a pretty story; the nature of the crime itself indicates derailment of some sort as well as the lack of a moral compass. However, this story is not about forgiveness or redemption. This story is about love and loss, family and personal identity, as told from a young girl's perspective as she wades through the rubble of her life asking the hard questions in hopes of finding herself.
