It’s the morning of the SAT. Will Westfield’s mother finds his bed empty and still made, his muddy sneakers on the floor. Did this sardonic, seemingly well-adjusted teen run away with his disturbed ex-girlfriend, get in trouble with their drug-dealing neighbor, or flee from the pressure to succeed? His parents search frantically for answers, but the only way to understand Will’s disappearance is to retrace the events and decisions that led him to this dangerous moment. Michael Laser’s third novel for adults (following Old Buddy Old Pal and Dark & Light: A Love Story) suspensefully records one family’s disaster, and the parents’ desperate struggle to bring Will back home.
