The Mourning Hours is the first novel by Paul Treick DeBoard. The story opens in the middle of the night on a highway in Wisconsin where Kirsten's on her way home for the first time in years. While it's not a happy homecoming for Kirsten and her siblings, it will lead to closure, healing and redemption for her family. This is a story about a missing girl, but its focus is the aftermath of her disappearance on her boyfriend's family and the toll it takes on them as public opinion convicts him as guilty of causing her disappearance. The other night I had thismuch left of the book to read, and we still didn't know for sure what happened to this girl, and I thought, 'I swear if I get to the end of this book, and we still don't for FOR REAL what happened to this chick, I'm not going to be happy.' Lucky for you all I was happy with the ending so you don't all have to listen to me gripe about it. After the story opens in the present, we flashback...
