Major Conflict

There are many major conflicts in this book. At this point Susie, the dead main character's dad is going crazy without her. The household is out of order. Her mother is shutting her father out and will not except his comfort. When her father goes out thinking that the murderer is striking again he fails and is hurt badly. Her mother then cheats on her father to forget about her death and feel something again. Lynsey becomes a woman and everyone is trying to move on from her death. They are not getting any closer to her murderer and everyone has given up but her father. Her father is the only persistent person looking for her killer. Her mother only trusts Len because she has secret feelings for him. Susie does not know what to do because her old world on Earth is falling apart before her eyes and she can't do anything to stop it. The conflicts are all based on the frustration that comes from her loss.
