THE OTHER SIDE OF DISAPPEARING

Wyeth Watts and Marnye Young narrate a complex and emotional romance about the nuances of finding out the truth. Jess Greene raised her younger sister, Tegan, after their mother ran off 10 years ago. When Adam Hawkins suddenly shows up with his boss, a true- crime podcaster, the sisters have the opportunity to learn what happened to their mother. Young captures all of Jess's fear for her sister and resentment toward her mother without downplaying the aching loss and betrayal she feels for herself. Watts gives Adam integrity and kindness, as well as seemingly boundless empathy. As Jess and Adam work together to build trust, Young and Watts plumb the emotional depths they must confront to move forward together. K.M.P. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2024]
