A Mi'kmaq family from Nova Scotia arrives in Maine 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 field.

Her father is emotionally distant\, her mother frustratingly 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 trying to uncover this family secret.\n\n\n\nFor readers of The Vanishing Half and Woman of Light\, this showstopping debut by a vibrant new voice in fiction is a riveting novel about the search for truth\, the shadow of trauma\, and the persistence of love across time.
