The acclaimed author of American Dirt reveals the devastating effects of a shocking tragedy in this landmark true crime book.

A Rip in Heaven is Jeanine Cummins’s story of a night in April 1991 when her two cousins Julie and Robin Kerry, and her brother, Tom, were assaulted on the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge, which spans the Mississippi River just outside of St. Louis.

When, after a harrowing ordeal, Tom managed to escape the attackers and flag down help, he thought the nightmare would soon be over. He couldn’t have been more wrong. Along with their entire family, he and his sister, Jeanine, were just at the beginning of a horrific odyssey through the aftermath of a violent crime, a world of shocking betrayal, endless heartbreak, and utter disillusionment. It was a trial by fire from which no family member would emerge unscathed.

A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt and Company

Jeanine is a brilliant writer, I read American Dirt and no other book seemed good enough or able to compare until I listened to this one. Jeanine is brilliant, and having her read this book with all the emotion put into it made it that much more poignant. I highly recommend this book.

So heartfelt and well told.

I am not sure that rating this book with ‘likes’ was appropriate in this case and yet I do feel that the book deserves all the stars.
The book is very well written especially considering the author’s emotions she must have experienced throughout the writing and reading the story.
I have recently read/listened another two books (fiction) written by Jeanine Cummins and I am very impressed by her writing. The characters and the stories are very well described and I would warmly recommend her books.

Well described the family tragic experience

This story about the BRUTAL ATTACK, SEXUAL ASSAULT AND MURDER of Julie and Robin Kerry and the Assault and attempted murder of their cousin Tom reads like a horror movie.... Only it was real life. My heart aches for the entire Kerry and Cummins families.

The truth is worse than fiction

A very sad story beautifully written. I would have liked an explanation about toms hip but other than that I loved it. Did a double marathon with this book and American Dirt; Cummins is a very talented writer, I look forward to her next book.

Couldn’t stop listening
