Tom Nelson’s
wife Jane suddenly snaps one day and drowns their two year old twins. One
survives and the other doesn’t. Jane is found not guilty by reason
of insanity and is sentenced to an institution for life. A year later,
the prosecution decides to try to convict Tom for negligence. Tom’s
mother hires a lawyer who brings in a psychic who delves into Jane’s past to
come up with a defense for Tom. What they begin to uncover is shocking,
and may just reveal why a mother would kill her own children.
We have all heard the phrase “the sins of the father” and it is just this
concept that the author, Karen Harrington, explores. Just who is to blame
for this horrible crime? How can a mother commit such a horrible act?
These are all questions we ask every time we see something like this on the
news. Janeology is original in that the story
consists of flashbacks told through the psychic who goes back in time into
Jane’s past to see what may have led her to do such a thing. In fact, my
favorite part of the story was about Jane’s ancestors. This was exactly
what made Janeology unique. It causes us to think
about these questions and that is what makes for a good book. The subject
matter may be hard to read, especially for mothers, but Janeology
is a thoughtful and challenging book and that is why I would highly recommend
it.
