Fiction. Literature. Thriller. HTML:

Two women wrenched apart by a family member's disappearance must find a way back to each other in this 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 family 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.

Nessa Garvey becomes suspicious when her sister, Deena doesn't come to pick up her niece, Ruby. Nessa suspects Ruby's dad, Lucas, has harmed her. Now, Lucas has moved to VT from PA to avoid the accusations, but Nessa doesn't give up.
Ruby lives an unusual life on Lake Champlain. She learns all sorts of skills, and is home-schooled, until the gov't comes to put her in school. Her father is over protective, and keeps tabs on Ruby.
Ruby doesn't have many memories of her mother and her mom's family, but small snippets come to her. She wonders where her mother is, what happened?
Both Ruby and Nessa start to dig into the mystery.
Beautiful but sad story. ( )
