"The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold

          I am currently reading "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold. It's about Susie know as Salmon, a girl  in the view of her, while she is resting in the place between heaven and the earth. "When I first entered heaven, I thought everyone saw what I saw."

        At first no one suspected it was Mr. Harvey because he was a quiet neighbor. However, he was mysterious. While Salmon's mom just cried her dad began to suspect. He looked all over his house, and began to follow him. Salmon's dad once followed him into a cornfield, where part of her body was and he was beaten up by a few teenagers and almost pounded to death, while Harvey watched from afar. He didn't give up on proving that he killed Salmon. He once paid a visit to Mr. Harvey and when he whispered "Susie", Mr. Harvey told him to leave.  Not to mention, as her sister grew up, she knew something was up. She was so hooked up, that she broke into his house. Found evidence that he had to do with her death.

       Even if the evidence was found, she didn't say anything. She kept it to herself. At first I thought that was very cruel of her and that she had to do with Salmon's death, and then I learned that it would disturb the peace. She didn't want to break the peace. Everyone accepted that Mr. Harvey had something to do with death, and Salmon was dead. Everyone did. Even Salmon's crush. They knew, but its just one things that you shouldn't say anything about yourself, because faith will determine where the life goes. Susie saw that from where she was, and crossed over into heaven. She had a reason, she knew what will happen to her family's life if her sister reveals that evidence. While she was in heaven, she realized that she was only one of Mr. Harvey's victims. There were dozens of them. All the victims had the same heaven as Salmon. They all got their justice years later when Mr. Harvey fell of an slippery ledge and froze to death.
