A family disappearance casts a long shadow
Set between Philadelphia and rural Vermont, Tell Me What I Am traces the aftermath of Deena Garvey’s 2004 disappearance through her sister Nessa and Deena’s daughter, Ruby. Nessa has long suspected Deena’s ex-husband, while Ruby grows up in his household on the shores of Lake Champlain, learning which questions cannot safely be asked. Spanning fourteen years and four hundred miles, the novel brings their separate perspectives toward the same concealed family history.

WINNER OF THE CRIME WRITERS' ASSOCIATION'S GOLD DAGGER AWARD
"Sharp, poignant, thrilling and moving . . . . Tell Me What I Am is the kind of richly drawn, achingly atmospheric crime novel you can totally immerse yourself in."--Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of All the Colors of the Dark
Two women wrenched apart by a family member's disappearance must find a way back to each other in this gripping domestic thriller and haunting page-turner by the author of A Crooked Tree.
Nessa Garvey's sister Deena vanished without a trace in Philadelphia in 2004. In all that time, Nessa has never once doubted what her instincts told her: her sister's ex-husband has gotten away with an unspeakable crime.
Nessa's niece, Ruby, is raised by her father, the man Nessa suspects, in rural Vermont, on the shores of Lake Champlain. Ruby learns how to hunt, how the plants and trees grow, how to avoid making her father angry. The one question she longs to ask is the one she knows she cannot voice: What really happened to her mother?
Over fourteen years, four hundred miles apart, these two women slowly begin to unearth the complex family secrets and history of insidious power and control that has shaped them both in such different ways. But can they reach each other in time?
Tell Me What I Am is a riveting, indelible tour de force of buried secrets and unlikely resilience.
