About the book
About The Night at the Pool
Amani Brooks built a life people admired. Online, her family looked warm, polished, and picture-perfect. Her home inspired women. Her posts made motherhood look beautiful, organized, and easy. But behind the camera, her family was starting to feel the pressure of always being watched. Her husband, Kevin, wants his wife back from the world of likes, views, and perfectly staged moments. Her daughter, Brianna, is tired of having pieces of their life turned into content. And her son, Jamal, has learned his own dangerous lesson: if people are laughing, keep recording. Then one night, while Amani and Kevin are out trying to reconnect, Jamal’s secret prank page leads to a poolside prank that goes terribly wrong. A teenage boy is injured. Police arrive. Rumors spread. Video clips begin circulating. And suddenly, the Brooks family’s carefully built image is no longer theirs to control. As two families search for someone to blame, Amani is forced to face the question she has been avoiding: Was she so busy recording her family that she missed what was happening inside it? **The Night at the Pool** is a gripping domestic suspense novel about family, image, social media, blame, and the devastating consequences of one reckless night.
