When Barbara Van Laar is discovered missin g from her summer camp bunk one morning in August 1975\, it triggers a pan icked\, terrified search.
\nLosing a camper is a horrific tragedy un der any circumstances\, but Barbara isn't just any camper\, she's \;th e \;daughter \;of the \;wealthy family who owns \;the \;camp--as well as \;the \;opulent nearby estate\, and most \; of the \;land in sight. And this isn't \;the \;first time a Va n Laar child has disappeared in this region: Barbara's older brother also went missing 16 years earlier\, never to be found. How could this have hap pened yet again?
\nOut \;of \;this gripping beginning\, Liz Moore weaves a richly textured drama\, both emotionally nuanced and propel led by a double-barreled mystery. Chasing down \;the \;layered sec rets \;of the \;Van Laar family and \;the \;community work ing in its shadow\, Moore's multi-threaded drama brings readers into \ ;the \;hearts \;of \;characters whose lives are forever change d by this eventful summer: Barbara's wounded\, grieving mother\; \;the \;"townie" whose family makes a living off this land\; \;the \;13-year-old camper struggling to find her way\; and \;the \;outs ider tasked with seeing \;the \;bigger picture\, and uncovering&nb sp\;the \;truth. \; -- Provided by publisher.
