Welcome to Litsy!

�Reef Road is magnificent. It feels utterly real, a novel of deeply personal context. It swerves between truth and lies�the lies that lead to an even deeper�and more devastating�truth. Though pure fiction, it reads as compellingly as a mixture of memoir and expos�. It has left me shaken to the core. Deborah Goodrich Royce writes with brilliant understanding of the mystery and occasional grace of trauma.� �Luanne Rice, New York Times bestselling author A young woman�s life seems perfect until her family goes missing. A writer lives alone with her dog and collects arcane murder statistics. What each of them stands to lose as they sneak around the do-not-enter tape blocking Reef Road beach is exposed by the steady tightening of the cincture encircling them. In a nod to the true crime that inspired it, Deborah Goodrich Royce�s Reef Road probes unhealed generational scars in a wrenching and original work of fiction. It is both stunning and sexy and, like a bystander surprised by a curtain left open, you won�t be able to look away.
