Similar to To Get rid of a Mockingbird, A Offense in the Area is the story of a girl's coming of age during a turbulent amount of time in American history. Living in a peaceful suburb of Washington, D.C., Marsha is nine years old in the summertime of 1973. While the nation's attention is focused on the breaking Watergate scandal, her peaceful neighborhood is certainly going through its own upheaval. Looking again as a grown-up, she remembers it as a period when her father's abandonment of his family becomes entwined with the introduction of a new neighbor and the loss of life of a young man who lives down the street. Deeply disillusioned by the changes in her life, Marsha can take it upon herself to get the boy's murderer, which cause a string of tragic incidents. A poignant and startling book, A Offense in the Area expertly shows what can happen when dread and suspicion gain control of a community's better judgement.
