The Sara Spooner series runs two books — Where Shadows Fall and Hush Little Darlings — published in 1987 and 1989. Sara faces threats centered on children in danger, with investigations that pull her into the dark corners of seemingly safe communities.
The series establishes the themes that define Kelman’s work — the vulnerability of children, the failure of institutions to protect them, and the determination of individuals who step into the gap.
