Description: Missing People by Brandon Graham Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description From a "perceptive writer whose work makes us painfully aware of our human follies and acknowledges our lovely humanity" (Audrey Niffenegger, bestselling author of The Time Travelers Wife) comes suspenseful novel about a missing girl whose disappearance rocks her community. Six years after the traumatic disappearance of Etta Messenger, its clear that none of the members of her middle-class family have finished mourning. Gaping emotional wounds have been poorly addressed. Ettas mother, Meg, anxious to find closure and make what she can of the rest of her life, has organized a memorial service to mark the painful anniversary. Newton, Ettas erstwhile high school sweetheart, a disabled Afghanistan veteran with anger issues, uses the impending anniversary as a convenient excuse to spin out of control. Charlie, Ettas earnest blue-collar father, takes stock of his life and is reminded how he failed to protect his daughter. Her younger brother, Townes, who was the last of them to see Etta and is convinced his emotional outburst drove his sister away, has his fragile hermetic cocoon threatened by the heightened emotions of the day. On the day of the memorial, a snowstorm threatens the city, and a chance observation on a commuter train entangles Townes in a dangerous situation that recall the events surrounding Ettas loss. The characters are shaken from their mournful routines by an unrelenting chain of events, including Newtons arrest, Townes dangerous heroics, Charlies recognition of his own shortcomings, and Megs shocking discovery. The action moves from the seemingly serene suburbs to the heart of a dangerous Chicago neighborhood. Will this ensemble of damaged characters pull themselves together in time, or will new stresses rip their tattered lives to shreds...
