Publisher Description
New from the Winner of ECPA's Fiction Book of the Year
Seventeen-year-old Molly Fisk does not go outside. She's ruled by anxiety and only feels safe in the tiny tourist-town museum she and her mother run and call home. Yearning to live free but unable to overcome deep wounds from her past, she stays hidden away. Then the chance arrival of a woman Molly knew six years ago changes everything.
Six years ago, newly single Claire Rodriguez was an empty shell. Only in the unique friendship she strikes up with a young girl--a silent girl who'll only talk to Claire--does she see the possibility of healing. But one day the girl and her mother vanish, their house abandoned. What happened that drove them away? And how can Claire now offer Molly the same chance at finding a life anew?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Journalist and author Parrish (Watch Over Me) weaves a multilayered tale of heartbreak and healing in her newest novel sure to appeal to readers of contemporary fiction. Claire Rodriguez is an empty shell, nearly crushed by the deaths of her two children in a car accident, a miscarriage, and a subsequent divorce. When she meets Hanna Sutter, a child locked in silence after severe trauma, they both begin to heal as they slowly form a relationship. But Hanna disappears abruptly, only to resurface years later in Claire's life in a most unlikely way. The fortuitous meeting restarts the process of true healing in both women. Parrish has created an exceptional look at trauma and its aftermath, as well as hope and recovery from grief at its best. Readers will love it for sure.
