The Lockhart women: a novel

Brenda Lockhart's family is already living beyond their means in Huntington Beach, California, when her husband announces he's leaving her for a coworker at the post office--and older and (in Brenda's opinion) less attractive woman. He drops this bombshell on June 17, 1994 the night of O.J. Simpson's slow-speed chase following the murder of his ex-wife. Brenda turns on the television and gets hooked on the media frenzy surrounding the Simpson trial. She's convinced O.J.'s innocent. Meanwhile, her two teenage daughters are busy making their own bad decisions about lovers and crime.
