Very engrossing story about three sisters, one of whom disappears when she is 5 years old, just as the 3 were to run away together. The novel takes place 15 years later when the mother sees a picture of a young woman in a magazine who she believes to be the missing sister and sends her daughter Caroline to find her. The story shows how losing one family member can cause a whole family to be lost and asks when and how do we let go so we can find ourselves.
