Summer of 1975. When Emerson, the camp leader, discovers that thirteen-year-old Barbara Van Laar did not sleep in her bunk, an anxious search begins. The missing girl is the daughter of the wealthy family that owns the camp as well as the impenetrable forest surrounding it.
And this is not the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. In 1961, Barbara’s eight-year-old brother, Bear, also vanished without a trace. Can history repeat itself in such a chillingly similar way? Can the buried secrets of the Van Laar family and those who work for them remain hidden forever?
A riveting, multi-layered thriller about family guilt, the weight of inheritance, the anxiety of coming of age, and second chances.
“At first, it’s hard to put down. After page 200, it’s simply impossible.” —Stephen King
