Hayley Jo Zimmerman is fully gone. Taken. Plus the people of small-town Twisted Tree must come to terms with this horrendous event—their loss, their place in it, and the secrets they all carry.
On this brilliantly written book, one gal’s story unfolds through the tales of those who realized her. Among them, a supermarket clerk recalls an face with a disturbingly skinny Hayley Jo. An ex-priest remembers baptizing Hayley Jo and viewing her with her closest friend, Laura, whose mother the priest once loved. And Laura berates herself for all the running they have, how it given her good friend’s obsession, and how there were so many secrets she didn’t see. And so, Hayley Jo’s lack recasts the lives of others and attaches them, her death rooting itself into the community in astonishingly violent and tender ways.
