Summary
Susie Salmon is telling the story from heaven. She watches over her family Ray (her crush), Ruth (the last person to touch Susie's soul before she went to heaven), the detectives, and her killer Mr.Harvey. After she was raped and killed, she's been watching her family suffer and seeing Mr.Harvey go on with no fingers pointed his way. Abigail, Susie's mother abandons the family when she can't take the pain of her daughter's death so her mother, grandma Lynn moved in. Lidnsey turned to exercising to deal with her pain. Susie begins to help her father and give him clues towards Mr.Harvey. He then tells Lindsey, Susie's little sister who he thinks it is, but there is no proof. Lindsey memorizes his schedule and waits for a day to strike.
Quote
"The guilt on him, the hand og God pressing down on him, saying, You were not there when your daughter needed you" (Sebold 65).
Reaction
I really started to feel sorry for Susie's dad because he was feeling guilty for something that was no where near his fault. He starts trying so hard to solve her murder that he even damages his marriage, just because of his guilt.
