Thriller Domestic
A harrowing debut novel of a tragic disappearance and one sisterβs journey through the trauma that has shaped her life. For eleven-year-old Esme, ballet is everythingβuntil her four-year-old sister, Lily, vanishes without a trace and nothing is certain anymore. People Esme has known her whole life suddenly become suspects, each new one hitting closer to home than the last. Unable to cope, Esme escapes the nightmare that is her new reality when she receives an invitation to join an elite ballet academy in San Francisco. Desperate to leave behind her chaotic, broken family and the mystery surrounding Lilyβs disappearance, Esme accepts. Eight years later, Esme is up for her big break: her first principal role in Paris. But a call from her older sister shatters the protective world she has built for herself, forcing her to revisit the tragedy sheβs run from for so long. Will her family finally have the answers theyβve been waiting for? And can Esme confront the pain that shaped her childhood, or will the darkness follow her into the spotlight?
