Original. A first novel. 25,000 first printing. When their seven-year-old daughters abruptly go missing, Antonia evaluates her decision to stay in a loveless and trauma-marked marriage that caused her child to withdraw into silence, while Martin confronts an uncomfortable aspect of his personality hidden beneath his professorial demeanor. Original. A first novel. 25,000 first printing. AnnotationHeather Gudenkauf spins a chilling family drama about how abuse can be a disease with many hidden symptoms. The tiny town of Willow Creek, Iowa is stunned when two little girls, Calli Clark and Petra Gregory, suddenly vanish on the same summer night. Calli had not spoken a word in more than three years after a traumatic episode involving her abusive father, and now her mother, Antonia, begins to feel the crush of guilt for having decided to forgive her husband instead of taking Calli away. Petra was Calli's best friend and the interpreter of her recent silence, and once the secrets of the Clark family's dark past begin to seep out during the investigation, Petra's father finds himself assigning guilt and surrendering to an urge for justice at all costs. In her first novel, Gudenkauf crafts a masterful portrait of the dangerous gaps in communication which often exist between an individual, a family, and a community. Masterfully written and beautifully told, Gudenkauf's debut is a stunning novel of family devotion, honesty, and regret that's sure to linger long after the last page is turned--a story of two families tied by the question of what had happened to their children.
