Description: " A riveting page - turner that begs to be read quickly compulsively. But page by page this electrifying debut by Willa Richards weaves an increasingly complicated and dark tale of guilt fury and the danger of building stories on that shakiest of foundations memory." Elizabeth Wetmore New York Times bestselling author of Valentine Set in Milwaukee during the Dahmer summer of 1991, a remarkable debut novel for fans of Mary Gaitskill and Gillian Flynn about two sisters one who disappears and one who is left to pick up the pieces in the aftermath. In the summer of 1991, a teenage girl named Dee Mc Bride vanished in the city of Milwaukee. Nearly thirty years later her sister Peg is still haunted by her sister's disappearance. Their mother on her deathbed is desperate to find out what happened to Dee so the family hires a psychic to help find Dee's body and bring them some semblance of peace. The appearance of the psychic plunges Peg back to the past to those final carefree months when she last saw Dee the summer the Journal Sentinel called the deadliest in the history of Milwaukee. Serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer's heinous crimes dominated the headlines and overwhelmed local law enforcement. The disappearance of one girl was easily overlooked. Peg's hazy recollections are far from easy for her to interpret assess or even keep clear in her mind. And now digging deep into her memory raises doubts and difficult even terrifying questions. Was there anything Peg could have done to prevent Dee's disappearance? Who was really to blame for the family's loss? How often are our memories altered by the very act of voicing them? And what does it mean to bear witness in a world where even our own stories are inherently suspect? A heartbreaking page - turner Willa C. Richards's novel is the story of a broken family looking for answers in the face of the unknown and asks us to reconsider the power and truth of memory.
