Find Me Gone Hardcover -

1996. In a sleepy Belgian hamlet, the residents are reeling from the disappearance of several young girls. But twelve-year-old Sophie knows what it's like to never truly feel safe. The only time she feels secure is when she's with her best friend, Hannah. When Hannah starts dating handsome Damiaan, Sophie feels left out. With each day, Sophie feels Hannah drifting farther from her. Then, one dark November night, Sophie fails to return home after a high school dance--and is never seen again.

2014. Hannah is a successful celebrity columnist in New York, but she craves a deeper subject. In an effort to reclaim herself and her writing, she gives up everything--her fianc, her job, her in-crowd friends--and retreats to Brooklyn to write a book about famous authors Agatha Christie, Barbara Follett, and Virginia Woolf, three women who struggled with family, loyalty, and ambition, and each of whom vanished without a trace.

Hannah's attempt to narrate these women's lives triggers memories she has long suppressed. Gradually, she unravels the truth about what happened to Sophie on that dark November night. Find Me Gone is a breathtaking, whip-smart debut, equal parts thriller and tender coming-of-age story.
