(2) YA Fifteen-year-old Gloria Ellis feels restless and dissatisfied until Uman Padeem comes to town and makes her feel important. Then he suggests they "just take off somewhere." Each chapter begins with a detective's question about the fifteen days Gloria was missing. Dropping clues with absolute control over the novel's trajectory, Bedford builds tension from the initial interview to the surprising final scene.
