Win a Book Wednesday: “The Day That Went Missing”

About "The Day That Went Missing"

"In 1978, a family took a vacation to the coast of England. One of the family’s four sons drowned and the family never really spoke of the day or the boy again.

In this well-written, deeply felt book the author attempts to reconstruct the events of the day, the ripples it caused, and the still-forming personality of his little brother. But how can an accurate portrait be completed when everyone’s memories and stories disagree? For fans of "Educated: A Memoir" and "Fun Home"."

Reviewed for you by librarian Sarah D. Publication date is set as November 13, 2018.

    Oooooh I’m about halfway through Everything I Never Told You, and I’m loving it! So beautifully written.

    I loved Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks. Anna’s story of loss of children, spouse, and most of her village was painful and yet she found beauty in the world through it all.
