The God of the Woods. Liz Moore

In August 1975, thirteen-year-old Barbara Van Laar, the daughter of its wealthy owners, disappears from a camp in the Adirondack Mountains. Fourteen years earlier, her older brother had disappeared from the same spot.

As camp staff and police search, a tangle of family secrets, unfulfilled expectations, class tensions, and unspoken tragedies slowly unravel.

"The Forest God" is both a psychological thriller and a social drama. It is a story of disappearance with a dual timeline that becomes a story about the relationships between rich and poor, parents and children, protectors and observers.
