A Good Neighborhood by Therese Anne Fowler

This story takes place in North Carolina but it could happen anywhere. It is centered around the relationship between a white girl and a black boy, a well-off family who have built a McMansion in an established older neighborhood that has their own way of doing things. The warning signs are clear from the beginning and most of the people involved are good people. They have been driven to take some extreme measures which is very much not their usual way. You will say while reading this that you would never make the same mistakes but people are people. The story will have you remembering a neighborhood you have lived in fondly and then it will turn and punch you in the gut.
Powerful and gut-wrenching, this story will get people talking and hopefully reacting differently and will be perfect for book clubs.
