From the New York Times bestselling author of Long Bright River comes an immersive novel centered around the disappearance of a child, sending shockwaves through three distinct worlds: an opulent Adirondack summer estate, a rustic teen summer camp, and the blue-collar community that serves them. In August 1975, the panic-stricken search begins when Barbara Van Laar vanishes from her camp bunk. As the daughter of the wealthy family that owns the camp and the nearby estate, her disappearance is particularly devastating. This is not the first tragedy for the Van Laar family; Barbara's older brother went missing sixteen years prior, never to be found. How could this happen again? Liz Moore masterfully weaves a richly textured drama, blending emotional depth with a compelling mystery. As secrets of the Van Laar family and the surrounding community unravel, readers are drawn into the lives of characters whose fates are irrevocably altered by this summer's events. This ambitious novel explores themes of love, inheritance, identity, and second chances, revealing the tensions between family and community, along with a haunting history of secrets that refuse to fade away.
