Description

When seventeen-year-old Jill Hanson and two of her friends witness a fatal pedestrian accident, Jill sets out to prove that the victim was predestined to suffer that fate.

Her belief is based on her classroom reading of Thorton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize winning novel, The Bridge of San Luis Rey. Several weeks later, she has another opportunity to investigate the same theory. A well-liked teacher in her high school is brutally murdered. As this story unfolds, she becomes acquainted with a small-town newspaper reporter, Josh Solomon, who is investigating why everyone in authority, including his own editor/publisher, appears to want any interest in the murder of Teresa Owens to simply go away.

Although approaching the subject from widely disparate perspectives, both want similar results. In Josh's case, it is justice for a murder victim while Jill is searching for an answer to the deep philosophical question raised in Wilder's book. Do we live by accident and die by accident, or do we live by plan and die by plan?

Why are so many people set on making Teresa disappear?
