Johnny, Tom, and their mother go on a dogsledding trip in Finland. The brothers love every minute of it--until their mam disappears. Running alongside the boys' tense, gripping adventure is the story of their eighteen-year-old half-sister, home in Dublin dealing with the return of her birth mother. The missing mother stories are linked by the characters' coming-of-age epiphanies.
