From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Family Upstairs and None of This Is True comes an “acutely observed family drama” (People) about the lingering aftermath of a young girl’s disappearance. Ellie Mack was the perfect daughter—fifteen, beloved by her parents, friends, and teachers, a teenaged golden couple with her boyfriend, and days away from an idyllic summer that would promise a bright future. And then she was gone. Now, her mother, Laurel Mack, is trying to put her life back together. It’s been ten years since her youngest child disappeared, seven years since her marriage ended, and only months since the last clue in Ellie’s case was unearthed. When Laurel meets an unexpectedly charming man in a café, their flirtation quickly deepens, and she finds herself meeting his daughters—one of whom, the youngest, Poppy, takes Laurel’s breath away because looking at Poppy is like looking at Ellie. Haunted by unanswered questions—Did Ellie run away? What happened to her? Who is this man, Floyd, really?—Laurel must decide whether the past can stay buried or whether Poppy’s resemblance will force long-buried truths back into the light.
