For fans of Jodi Picoult and Anna Quindlen, comes an âastonishingly profoundâŚexquisitely written dramaâ (Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You) about a husband and a wife, a missing child, and the complicated family secrets that can derail even the best of marriages.
Itâs been a busyâand expensiveâfew years for Matt and Elise Sorenson and their young daughter Gracie, whom they affectionately call Little Green. Matt, a Manhattan lawyer, has just been offered a partnership, and Eliseâs equestrian ambitions as a competitive dressage rider may finally vault her into the Olympics. But her long absences from home and endless hours of training have strained their relationships nearly to the breaking point.
Now theyâre up in the Adirondacks, preparing to sell the valuable lakefront cabin thatâs been in Mattâs family for generations. Both he and Elise agree itâs time to let it go. But as they navigate the memories the cabin holdsâand come face to face with Mattâs teenage crush, now an unnervingly attractive single mother living right next doorâGracie disappears without a trace.
Faced with the possibility that theyâll never see their daughter again, Elise and Matt struggle to come to terms with what their future may bring. The fate of the family property, the history of this not-so-tiny town, and the limits of Matt and Eliseâs love for each other are inextricably bound up with Gracieâs disappearance. Everything for the Sorenson family is about to changeâthe messy tangle of their past, the harrowing truth of their present, and whether or not their love will survive a parentâs worst nightmare.
