A four-year-old Mi’kmaq girl disappeared from a blueberry field in Maine, causing a tragic mystery that haunts survivors, disperses a family and has been unable to resolve for nearly fifty years
July 1962. Following the tradition of the Indigenous workers in Nova Scotia, the Mi’kmaq family arrived in Maine to pick blueberries in the summer. A few weeks later, Ruth, the youngest child in the family, disappeared. Her six-year-old brother Joe sat on the favourite rock on the edge of the Berry Field. Joe will be frustrated by his sister’s disappearance in the coming years.
In Maine, a young girl named Norma grew up to be the only child of a wealthy family. Her father is emotionally out of reach, and her mother is frustrated overprotective.
Norma is often troubled by recurring dreams and visions that seem more like memory than imagination. As she got older, Norma slowly realized that her parents didn’t tell her. Unwilling to give up her intuition, she will spend decades trying to reveal the secrets of this family.
For fans of The Disappearing Half and The Bright Woman, the vibrant new voice in this vibrant novel is a lasting novel about finding truth, shadows of trauma, and love across time.
