The acclaimed author of American Dirt reveals the devastating effects of a shocking tragedy in this landmark true crime book.
A Rip in Heaven is Jeanine Cummins’s story of a night in April 1991, when her two cousins Julie and Robin Kerry, and her brother, Tom, were assaulted on the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge, which spans the Mississippi River just outside of St. Louis.
When, after a harrowing ordeal, Tom managed to escape the attackers and flag down help, he thought the nightmare would soon be over. He couldn’t have been more wrong. Along with their entire family, he and his sister, Jeanine, were just at the beginning of a horrific odyssey through the aftermath of a violent crime, a world of shocking betrayal, endless heartbreak, and utter disillusionment. It was a trial by fire from which no family member would emerge unscathed.

It was a new book out so it was a flip of the dice with no prior reviews. Anyway good job author and narrator.
Sad story and I did skip a chapter or two because it was too intense. I loved it!

Jeanine, my eyes are now wide opened. Thank you for your words and thoughts and FACTS to make me see CLEARLY, to pay attention to the facts that puts these men away.
Moving forward I will always think of the victims and their families when I hear of another death penalty or execution by the state.
thank you for your book

UPDATE and Conclusion (days later)—SPOILER ALERT: It was no lofty pipe dream that the superb author (Jeanine Cummins) hoped to bring forth the brilliance with which her slain cousins lived their shining lives because in fact, she succeeded in illuminating them here (in my humble opinion). In many True Crime books, much is written about the criminals yet comparatively little about the good and fine people caught up in tragedy: however, many wonderful human beings are highlighted in this particular narrative. I realize my review is rather over-the-top with praise but I must insist to you that I know none of the story’s participants and neither have I ever been paid for any book reviews. Ever. Certainly, this book is far too quality to need this as already in 2 full pages of reviews the ratings are 5 stars all the way! Needless to say, I recommend this book highly.
ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING!
