Description
A novel perfect for fans of Dopesick and Long Bright River.
Denise has been suspicious of her sister Angie's boyfriend, Brock, from the start and not only because Angie wants time off from caring for their disabled mother to date him, which means Denise has to pick up the slack. Exactly what "business" is this shady guy in? Even Brock's mother Nora, a widowed, well-known artist enjoying her new romance, would like to know that.
Only a few observant people have an idea what might be going on after Angie is injured and pain pills are prescribed at the hospital. Denise's daughter Julie, just fourteen, notices as Angie sickens. Mercedes, a bar keeper friend to Brock, realizes what he's into and then, the danger he's in--and why.
One of them will die. And then another.
The police will call that death an accident, too. But maybe they didn't see a reason to consider murder? Can the guilty and the betrayed survivors trust and forgive each other? Enough to work together to bring the biggest dealer to justice? Are hope and tenderness ever possible again?
A Note From the Publisher

Advance Praise
"...the author tackles themes of addiction, religion, family, and hope with grace and careful consideration. Packed with many thought-provoking ideas, Hugo’s novel would make an excellent book club selection..."—Kirkus Reviews
"Sharp, sensitive and insightful, Under an Indiana Sky is an important novel, one of darkness and loss, but also one of courage, unexpected kindness and hope.”—Donna Everhart, USA Today bestselling author of Women of a Promiscuous Nature
"UNDER AN INDIANA SKY goes deep under the surface of a family being destroyed by drugs and the lies that support dealing and addiction.

Lynne Hugo is the real deal."—Alice Elliott Dark, author of FELLOWSHIP POINT and IN THE GLOAMING
"Author Lynne Hugo renders—with unflinching honesty and quiet heartbreak—how blind we can be to the people we love most, how this crisis touches more lives than we ever imagine, and whether those left behind can still find their way to justice, to forgiveness, and finally, to hope."—Randy Susan Meyers, international bestselling author of The Murderer’s Daughters and The Many Mothers of Ivy Puddingstone
"Gritty, gripping, and ultimately hopeful, [Under An Indiana Sky] ascends to a story of strength and redemption.”—Juliette Fay, bestselling author of Catch Us When We Fall and The Harvey Girls
