Synopsis
From the best-selling author of Songs in Ordinary Time. Mary McGarry Morris’s first novel is a disturbing story of obsession, abduction, love and redemption.
Aubrey Wallace is the kind of man no one notices. Dotty Johnson is the kind of woman no one can ignore. One afternoon, they both disappear from the small Vermont town where they live. The next day, two hundred miles away, a toddler is snatched from her Massachusetts home.
For the next five years, Aubrey, Dotty and the kidnapped child – bound together by strange love and desperate need – are trapped in a nomadic existence governed by their constant fear of discovery. Canny, the little girl, becomes Aubrey’s entire life. But Dotty wants out. She is tired of being saddled with this fearful little man. When she meets Jiggy Huller, a brutal ex-convict, the wheels of Canny’s return to her natural parents are wrenched into motion. "[A} disturbing, gripping story... written in prose pitched somewhere between Raymond Carver and Annie Proulx" Observer

Review
“Events are presented with such authority that they hum with both the authenticity of real life and the mythic power of fable.” —The New York Times
“An impressive debut . . . A work that is unusual and rich.” —San Francisco Chronicle
“With Vanished and A Dangerous Woman, Ms. Morris established herself as a credible heir to Carson McCullers . . . a wise, unsentimental portraitist of the lonely, the damned, the desperate and the incomplete.” —The New York Times Book Review
