Unto The Daughters: The Legacy Of An Honor Killing In A Sicilian-American Family by Karen Tintori, 2007


Talk about skeletons in a family's closet, this one is a real doozy. "Unto The Daughters"is a murder mystery set in Detroit. A young daughter is forcibly engaged at 16 to an older man she does not love. To her family's disappointment she elopes and quickly becomes dishonored. Not long after she disappears and a family's secret begins. Many years later the author, Karen Tintori, goes on a quest to uncover the truth. A fascinating look into a family's darkest secret, plus the local setting adds to the interest.
