Publisher's Synopsis
One of "Summer's Smartest and Most Innovative Thrillers" (Vanity Fair): A bold, page-turning novel that follows the rippling effects of a childhood abduction on two sisters
Every other weekend, Hope and Eden-backpacks, Walkmans, and homework in hand-wait for their father to pick them up, as he always does, at a strip-mall bus stop. It's the divorce shuffle; they're used to it. Only this weekend, he's screwed up, forgotten, and their world will irrevocably change when a stranger lures them into his truck with a false story and smile.
Twenty years later. Hope discovers that the man who abducted them is up for parole and the sisters might be able to offer testimony to keep him in jail. There's only one problem: Eden is nowhere to be found.
Hope sets out on a harrowing quest-from hippie communes to cities across the country, and into her own troubled past-to track down her sister. Will she find Eden in time? And what will she learn about herself along the way?
