When a teenager vanishes from her Adirondack summer camp, two worlds collide.

Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant,

Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the

daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s

residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older

brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found.

As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of

the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-

threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second

chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.
