On a hot day in Maine in the 1960s, six-year-old Joe watches his younger sister Ruthie sit on her favorite rock at the edge of a blueberry field while their family, Mi’kmaq Indians from Nova Scotia, Canada, pick berries. That same day, Ruthie disappears without a trace. Joe, who was the last to see her, will be heartbroken for years to come.
In a nearby suburb, Norma grows up the only child in a wealthy family. She is intelligent beyond her years, but questions about strange, vivid dreams; about missing childhood photos... Norma senses that her parents are hiding something from her, and it will take her decades to unravel these mysteries.
This is a beautifully moving story of hope, love, and the strength of family—even in the face of heartbreak and betrayal.
