This town, fiercely protective, brutal and unforgiving in its adherence to tradition, faces a singular affliction: some mothers vanish, disappearing into the clouds. It is the exquisite pain and intrinsic beauty of their lives; it sets them apart from people elsewhere and gives them meaning. Vera, a young girl when her own mother went, is on the cusp of adulthood herself. As her peers begin to marry and become mothers, they speculate about who might be the first to go, each wondering about her own fate. Reveling in their gossip, they witness each other in motherhood, waiting for signs: this one devotes herself to her child too much, this one not enough, that must surely draw the affliction's gaze. When motherhood comes for Vera, she is faced with the question: will she be able to stay and mother her beloved child, or will she disappear? 650 0 $a Disappearances (Parapsychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mothers $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Dystopias. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Dystopian fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Potter, Ell, $e narrator. 941 $a 5 945 $a cdab 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240515012033.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20240402012455.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206011408.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20230204010637.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220802014817.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A10F2968122B11EDB028045E3CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
