About this item

From the author of Fingerprints of You, whom Judy Blume calls "a remarkable young novelist," comes a compelling and lyrical novel that explores how one teen rebuilds her life after everything seems lost.My father disappeared on a Tuesday that should've been like any Tuesday, but eventually became the Tuesday my father disappeared. Tired of living in limbo, Callie finally decides to investigate her father's disappearance for herself. Maybe there was an accident at the construction site that he oversaw? Maybe he doesn't remember who he is and is lost wandering somewhere? But after seeing a familiar face in a photo from the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906, she wonders if the answer is something else entirely.
