Publisher Description

The Pipers are a family built on optimism. Claire and Gene moved with their precocious, beguiling daughter Alice to Haeden, New York for a fresh start. In doing so, they unwittingly re-write the story of her life. Wendy White has strong roots in Haeden, a late-blooming young woman, mindful of family and home. Her story has a beginning and an end, but is missing the most important piece - the middle. What happened to Wendy White? Stacey Flynn is a reporter, both a seeker and a teller of stories. It is gritty, relentless and ultimately reckless Flynn who will chronicle Wendy White's existence from all the fragments she can find, and forge a path toward the end. But only we will ever know the whole story.

    " I had a hard time getting into this book, but then found I couldn't put it down. The story is told in several voices and lots of layers. The writing is excellent and the story suspenseful, but I can't say I loved the book. "

    " This is a curious book to me. After reading it, I wasn't sure if it is terribly written or brilliant. While I didn't enjoy the content of the story, I liked that I wasn't sure what to make of it overall. "

    " Wow, wow, wow! This was one the most amazing books I have read on violence towards women. The multiple perspectives were confusing at first, and the reader is never given a conclusive answer on what happened, but the overall effect is chilling and oh so powerful. "

    " This was hard go get into and the multiple points of view and jumping around in the timeline made it harder to follow. The story itself is disturbing. Left me feeling sad and sick to my stomach which I guess is good because it left me feeling SOMETHING. "
