A medical school dropout, sheâs come back to small-town Everton, New Hampshire, to care for her father, who is dying from a mysterious brain disease. Clive Starling has been hallucinating small animals, as well as having visions of the ghost of a long-dead naturalist, Ernest Harold Baynes, once known for letting wild animals live in his house. This ghost has been giving Clive some ideas on how to spend his final days. Emma arrives home knowing she must face her dadâs illness, her momâs judgment, and her younger brotherâs recent stint in rehab, but sheâs unprepared to find that her former best friend from high school is missing, with no one bothering to look for her. The police say they donât spend much time looking for drug addicts. Emmaâs dad is the only one convinced the young woman might still be alive, and Emma is hopeful he could be right. Someone should look for her, at least. Emma isnât really trying to be a hero, but somehow she and her father bring about just the kind of miracle the town needs. 541 $d 20231220. 650 $a Homecoming $v Fiction. 650 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 $a Terminally ill $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Missing persons $v Fiction. 655 $a Domestic fiction. 655 $a Detective and mystery fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20240308010039.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8E3F79AEDD1911EEA1A0BB6156ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
