Atlanta’s Joshilyn Jackson
February 27th, 2008 by Krista Derbecker Gilliam in Books & Readings
The Girl Who Stopped Swimming (released this week) opens with Laurel, a thirtysomething wife and mother living a peaceful existence in an upscale gated community, who wakes up one summer evening to find the ghost of her daughter’s best friend, pointing to the pool, where the ghost’s dead body floats in the water. Laurel enlists her estranged actress sister, Thalia, to help her with the aftermath, and what follows is one part mystery, one part ghost story and eight parts family interaction.
