Mia Parkson's life is turned upside down when her stay-at-home dad, the family's anchor, goes missing. The only witness? Eugene - her younger, nonspeaking teenage brother.
As the Police struggle for leads, and her mother and twin brother struggle to keep things together at home, Mia gains access to key clues about her father's disappearance. Headstrong, hyper analytical, and with secrets of her own, she decides to try and solve the case. But could Mia's impulsive actions be putting her whole family in danger?
'Gorgeous . a layered and innovative exploration of family, love, happiness, and race.'
JEAN KWOK

'Stunning!'

Critic reviews

'The most moving and humbling portrait of humanity.' MARY BETH KEANE

Book brilliant, voice acting of the brother a bit off

Book is brilliant, the voice acting for the brother was not a good match in my opinion. The voice was okay, but the way in which he was supposedly imitating a person with autism that has finally found a channel of communication came out condescending. Maybe the other both reading and listening to the story catch my meaning.
