Mystery
Michael Hiebert's remarkable debut novel tells the riveting
story of a small southern town haunted by tragedy, one brave
woman's struggle to put a troubling mystery to rest—and its
impact on the sensitive boy who comes of age in the midst of
it all. . . Abe Teal wasn't even born when Ruby Mae Vickers went missing
twelve years ago. Few people in Alvin, Alabama, talk about
the months spent looking for her, or about how Ruby Mae's
lifeless body was finally found beneath a willow tree. Even
Abe's mom, Leah, Alvin's only detective, has avoided the
subject. But now, another girl is missing. Fourteen-year-old Mary Ann Dailey took the bus home from
school as usual, then simply vanished. Townsfolk comb the
dense forests and swampy creeks to no avail. Days later,
Tiffany Michelle Yates disappears. Abe saw her only hours
before, holding an ice cream cone and wearing a pink dress. Observant and smart, Abe watches his mother battle
small-town bureaucracy and old resentments, desperate to
find both girls and quietly frantic for her own children's
safety. As the search takes on a terrifying urgency, Abe
traverses the shifting ground between innocence and hard-won
understanding, eager to know and yet fearing what will be
revealed. Dream with Little Angels is by turns lyrical, heartbreaking,
and shocking—a brilliantly plotted novel of literary
suspense and of the dark shadows, painful secrets, and
uncompromising courage in one small town.
