註釋

Roe is like any other fifteen year old suburban Chicago teenager. Her only worries are schoolwork, keeping up with her wayward best friend, and whether or not she should sleep with her boyfriend. Then her adoptive father, a locksmith, disappears one winter's day without explanation. As Roe tries to find out where he is and why he left, her past unravels, revealing secrets and lies that will change her future forever. This is a beautiful novel about abandonment, identity and self-discovery in the harshest of circumstances, set in suburban Chicago. An extraordinarily assured debut. Ideal for fans of Fugitive Pieces by Anne Michaels, Anne Patchett's The Magician's Assistant and Kent Haruf's Plainsong.
