    About this audiobook

    “With Your House Will Pay, Steph Cha has taken a dark moment in Los Angeles’s violent history and cracked it wide open, creating a prism of understanding—of the pull of generational violence and its enduring devastation, but also of the power of human grace against all odds. It’s a touching portrait of two families bound together by a split-second decision that tore a hole through an entire city.” —Attica Locke, Edgar-Award winning author of Bluebird, Bluebird

    In the wake of the police shooting of a black teenager, Los Angeles is as tense as it’s been since the unrest of the early 1990s. But Grace Park and Shawn Matthews have their own problems. Grace is sheltered and largely oblivious, living in the Valley with her Korean-immigrant parents, working long hours at the family pharmacy. She’s distraught that her sister hasn’t spoken to their mother in two years, for reasons beyond Grace’s understanding. Shawn has already had enough of politics and protest after an act of violence shattered his family years ago. He just wants to be left alone to enjoy his quiet life in Palmdale.

    But when another shocking crime hits LA, both the Park and Matthews families are forced to face down their history while navigating the tumult of a city on the brink of more violence.

      The book itself is very well written and engaging, but one half of the narration is not great. There are two narrators for different parts of the story. The female reader is great on both a technical and artistic level, but the male part is very choppy. The male part literally consists of two or more recordings made at different times, sloppily cut and pasted together, often even within paragraphs. It's jarring to say the least. If it wasn't for the quality of the book and the other narrator's good performance I would probably not have stuck with it until the end

      A good listen. I remember being in LA during the drama that this story is wrapped around. It was a crazy time!
