Peter Lovenhiem—In the Neighborhood:The Search for Community on an American Street One Sleep Over at a Time.

A married couple of physicians seemed to be the perfect family. Husband, wife, boy, girl and all was well. One night the father came home, shot his wife, shot himself, and the children went running into the darkness.
