The Ramirez women of Staten Island orbit around absence. When thirteen-year-old middle child Ruthy disappeared after track practice without a trace, it left the family scarred and scrambling. One night, twelve years later, oldest sister Jessica spots a woman on her TV screen. After seeing maybe-Ruthy on their screen, Jessica and Nina hatch a plan in search of their long-lost sister. What follows is a family road trip and reckoning that will force the Ramirez women to finally face the past and look toward a future - with or without Ruthy in it. Print run 75,000.
