The Lessons We Learn

Bag om The Lessons We Learn

March 1943. As the Buffalo winter ends, the father of Betty Ahern''s friend, Lee Tillotson, disappears. At first his absence is a relief, providing Lee, his mother and sisters refuge from the man''s frequent drunken rages. But when Mr. Tillotson is discovered drowned in the Buffalo River and the police charge Lee with the murder, the family''s newfound peace shatters. Worse, Lee becomes secretive and unwilling to cooperate with Betty or the police. Betty is certain of Lee''s innocence, but there she has very little time to investigate before he must enter his plea in court. To prove Lee''s innocence, Betty digs into Mr. Tillotson''s life, discovering a seamy and dangerous underside to Mr. Tillotson, and to Buffalo itself. With time running out, Betty soon learns who her friends really are, how much Lee loves his family and friends and is loved in return, and just how far the corruption leaking from Buffalo''s City Hall has reached. But can she prove Lee''s innocence before it''s too late?
