About this item

From National Book Award nominee Laura McNeal comes a riveting, tautly-told novel that is at once hopeful and harrowing. Perfect for fans of We Were Liars and Bone Gap. When Thisbe Locke is last seen standing on the edge of the Coronado Bridge, it looks like there is only one thing to call it. But her sister Ted is not convinced. Despite the witnesses and the police reports and the divers and the fact that she was heartbroken about the way things ended with Clay and how she humiliated herself at that party, Thisbe isn't the type of person to end up just an "incident." While everyone in town prepares to mourn the loss (some more than others) , Ted and Fen, the new kid in town, set out to put the pieces together and find her sister. But if Thisbe didn't jump, what happened up on that bridge?



About the Author

Laura McNeal

My historical novel for adults, THE PRACTICE HOUSE, gave me a chance to work out, in fictional form, the joys and limitations of home life in the 1930s, an era shaped by the same moral code (and daily tasks) of my adolescence. Writing it reminded me how much I loved crimping the edges of pies, cutting around the pinned edge of a dress pattern, planning a Thanksgiving menu, and tipping rain water out of the bottles my grandmother collected at the dump and used to decorate her yard. The thing my three novels have in common is their faith in the power of commonplace objects and the good intentions of strangers.
