Mystery | Suspense
At age eleven, Nora and Charlotte are the best of friendsโuntil their teenager babysitter, Rose, disappears under mysterious circumstances. They decide to โinvestigate,โ using paranormal theories and techniques they glean from a hand-me-down collection of Time-Life books. But their search goes nowhere, and leaves both girls distraught and angry with each other. In her late twenties, Nora is drawn back her old neighborhood, and to Charlotte, when Roseโs bones are found. She was probably murdered, and Charlotte is adamant that they solve the crime. Noraโwho was the last known person to see Rose aliveโis forced to reconsider her memory of the events surrounding the disappearance, and her own troubled adolescence following those fateful days. And sheโs not sure if sheโs ready to face the secrets that begin to surface. Told in alternating narratives from the past and present, this is a mystery about broken friendship and the unease of revisiting adolescent memory.
