DESCRIPTION:July 1962. A Mi'kmaq family from Nova Scotia arrives in M
 aine to pick blueberries for the summer. Weeks later, four-year-old Ruthie
 , the family's youngest child, vanishes. She is last seen by her six-
 year-old brother, Joe, sitting on a favorite rock at the edge of a berry f
 ield. Joe will remain distraught by his sister's disappearance for ye
 ars to come. In Maine, a young girl named Norma grows up as the only chil
 d of an affluent family. Her father is emotionally distant, her mother fru
 stratingly overprotective. Norma is often troubled by recurring dreams and
  visions that seem more like memories than imagination. As she grows older
 , Norma slowly comes to realize there is something her parents aren't
  telling her. Unwilling to abandon her intuition, she will spend decades t
 rying to uncover this family secret. For readers of The Vanishing Half an
 d Woman of Light, this showstopping debut by a vibrant new voice in fictio
 n is a riveting novel about the search for truth, the shadow of trauma, an
 d the persistence of love across time. Books are available for check-out 
 at the library.
