Synopsis

Glory Vigil, newly married and unexpectedly pregnant at forty-one, is nesting in the home she and her husband Joseph have just moved to in Santa Fe, a house that-unknown to them-is rumored to have a resident ghost.Their adopted daughter Juniper is home from college for Thanksgiving and in love for the very first time, quickly learning how a relationship changes everything.But Juniper has a tiny arrow lodged in her heart, a leftover shard from the day eight years earlier when her sister Casey disappeared-in a time before she'd ever met Glory and Joseph.When a fieldwork course takes Juniper to a pueblo only a few hours away, she finds herself right back in the past she thought she'd finally buried.A love story, a family story, a story of searching and the bond between sisters, "Finding Casey" is a testament to human resilience.

Review

"FINDING CASEY is so many things: a love letter to the American Southwest, an unstoppable read, a redemptive tale that proves the threads binding a family are unbreakable, no matter how far apart we are flung by fate. This is why Jo-Ann Mapson is one of my favorite authors -- quite simply, she's an archivist of the human heart." - --Jodi Picoult, #1 "New York Times" bestselling author of "Lone Wolf" and "Sing You Home

"FINDING CASEY is a beautiful, rugged journey into the depths of the heart." --Robyn Carr, #1 "New York Times" bestselling author of the Virgin River novels "No one tunnels as effortlessly into the mysteries of human heart the way that Mapson does. A haunting novel about the way the past travels right along with the present, and how hope can soar when you least expect it."--Caroline Leavitt, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Pictures of You

""The characters in Jo-Ann Mapson's novels feel hauntingly real - even the ghosts who groan through the pipes now and then.

"Mapson, a Southwest writer with a voice as rich and deep as a New Mexico sunset, handles grief and joy the way an expert weaver handles threads of different hues. There's a rich and complex plot . . . and writing so sharp it leaves the reader breathless with emotion . . . .And there are connections between unlikely characters, beautifully and satisfyingly imagined by Mapson, which make the heart cheer." --"Huffington Post"
