The Good Son

I give it a 2 1/2. I liked the plot, the premise that bad things happen to good people, redeeming yourself after a horrible mistake is possible, and being a productive citizen after prison. BUT...the author would interrupt the story with having the narrator (mother) all of a sudden go off on an irrelevant memory, or unnecessarily steer away from the plot line. It took away from the main character's story. AND, the
ending came about way too abruptly.
