Missing Persons
Missing Persons is a moving novel about family, about memory and desire within its twisted history, and about trying to come to grips with our family past as it catches up with us, as the epigraphs from Julian Barnes and F. Scott Fitzgerald suggest. The novel takes us from vivid scenes of a Brooklyn childhood through a Montana wildfire to Hollywood under the blacklist. "This is a first-rate read." -David Peck, author of Novels of Initiation About the Author
