Description
One sunny spring morning, 16-year-old Ethan Shumway walks down his gravel driveway, turns the bend, and vanishes without a trace. A gifted athlete and musician, he leaves behind a wake of family and friends desperately searching for him, trying to make sense of what has happened. Unfolding through the eyes of Ethan's younger brother, Philip, who observes the world with a heartbreaking savvy and a nearly irresistible level of feeling, the story slowly weaves its way into the fabric of the family as it explores the power and the fragility of youth, and the bonds and fissures of family as the Shumways search for understanding in the unbearable presence of loss.
