Cabbage Night, 1991. The traditional night of pranks takes a disturbing turn when a violent crime rocks a small Adirondack town. Even more so when the only witness is a seven-year-old boy. Hen Trout, who had hoped to catch a pet hedgehog that night, instead sees his beloved Miss Sally become a victim.

Single mom Marcella Trout is blindsided when Tyler, her seventeen-year-old, is arrested for the very crime Hen witnessed. Now Tyler’s eerie mood swings seem dark and frightening and rooted in a family history Marcella has desperately tried to bury. As the criminal investigation churns on, the tenuous fabric of the Trout family begins to unravel...and even Hen begins to question the truth.

I listened to Audible version of Boy on Hold gifted to me by the author through Story Origin. I was very intrigued by the plot. Family dynamics. Witnessing violence. Drug addiction. Mental illness. Bullying. A murder trial. I liked having all the character's POVs. I found the jumping around timeline confusing without having the written word to follow.
The narrator did a good job with all the characters. But he would soften his voice at the end of sentences and I couldn’t understand what he said.

A single mom's struggle.
