by **Stewart O'Nan** (Author)

**A heartfelt family drama of loss and reconciliation with the unthinkable, from the author of _Emily, Alone_ and _Henry, Himself_**

Returning again to the theme of working-class people and their wrenching concerns, _Songs for the Missing_ begins with the suspenseful pace of a thriller, following an Ohio community's efforts to locate a young woman who has gone missing. It soon deepens into an affecting portrait of a family trying desperately to hold onto itself and the memory of a daughter whose return becomes increasingly unlikely. Stark and honest, this is an intimate account of what happens behind the headlines of a very American tragedy.
