Set in Milwaukee during the "Dahmer summer" of 1991, a remarkable debut novel about two sisters - one who disappears and one who is left to pick up the pieces in the aftermath. 9.5"x6.5", 389 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. On a hot summer night in 1991, a teenage girl named Dee McBride vanished in the city of Milwaukee. Nearly thirty years later, her sister, Peg, is still haunted by Dee's disappearance. Their mother, on her deathbed, is desperate to find out what happened and hires a psychic to help find Dee's body and bring the family some semblance of peace. The comments of the psychic plunge Peg back to the past, to those final, dangerous months when she last saw Dee. The 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? A heartbreaking page-turner, Willa C. Richards's debut 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.. Book Condition: Very Good.
