Watching Jordan’s Fall by Allison Whittenberg

04/17/2021

 … God, I hate November.
 All the hope I had hoped
 against hope for Jordan.
 Dad beat Jordan, to
 straighten him out, to show
 Jordan, to silence him.

 My brother lived until the next
 season, onto the next winter,
 very quiet like a fallen leaf.


A. Whittenberg is a Philadelphia native who has a global perspective. If she wasn’t an author she’d be a private detective or a jazz singer. She loves reading about history and true crime. Her other novels include Sweet Thang, Hollywood and Maine, Life is Fine, Tutored and The Sane Asylum.
