Breaking Her Fall-5

This week I finished my book. In the end, Jed's family dropped the lawsuit against Tucker because they were unable to move forward without Jed's testimony. Although Tucker was never sent to jail, his life was basically ruined. His business was just a disaster since no one wanted to work for him and no one wanted to hire him to do their landscaping. He did get his daughter back from his wife in New York but their life was never the same. The kids switched schools and it seemed like no one would ever forget the accident. I think its really sad that Tucker's whole life was ruined because of one time when he lost his temper. I do think this could happen really anywhere and it seem the reaction of the town would resemble that of Edina's if something like that were to happen here. Its a small town and it seems like everyone is always talking, making it difficult to keep an incident like this quiet.
