"Deeply moving and exquisitely lyrical, this is a powerhouse of a debut novel." -Tess Gerritsen "Beautifully written, compassionately told, and relentlessly suspenseful." -Diane Chamberlain "Gudenkauf moves the story forward at a fast clip and is adept at building tension." -Publishers Weekly"
Gudenkauf's fast-paced and compelling debut novel centers on the lives of two seven-year-old girls who go missing in a small Iowa town and is told through the points of view of six protagonists, three children and three adults. As the story unfolds, these memorable characters reveal insights into small-town life, childhood friendships, and alcohol and familial abuse. Narrators Eliza Foss, Therese Plummer, Tony Ward, Andy Paris, Jim Colby, and Cassandra Morris beautifully and effectively render the multiple perspectives, giving each character a unique voice. Between the writing, the characters, the setting, the action, and the narration, this is one audiobook that will be hard to forget. Highly recommended.-Kristen L. Smith, Loras Coll.
