YA
Michaela's brother Red disappeared three months ago, and "Mike" and Red's two close friends are adrift. The three know that Red can't come back, and they alone know the full story, circumstances too painful to confide or even remember. Mike's spare present-tense account aches with the tension between the simple events she narrates and the overwhelming pain running beneath her story.
