The Year We Disappeared: A Father-Daughter Memoir

(4) YA Policeman John Busby narrates being blasted in the face with a shotgun and the harrowing treatments that save him. Daughter Cylin describes the subsequent security measures that change her life into a kind of prison. Father and daughter have riveting stories to tell in this gritty memoir, but the book's tag-team format ultimately shortchanges each of them.
