It feels utterly real, a novel of deeply personal context. It swerves between truth and lies--the lies that lead to an even deeper--and more devastating--truth. Though pure fiction, it reads as compellingly as a mixture of memoir and exposé. It has left me shaken to the core. Deborah Goodrich Royce writes with brilliant understanding of the mystery and occasional grace of trauma.\" \u003c\/b\u003e--Luanne Rice, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA young woman's life seems perfect until her family goes missing.
