This book pulled me in from the beginning. For almost a year Jonathan has been a single parent to a teenage daughter named Olive. That is never an easy task and it is getting harder since Olive has become more remote. She is even having some issues at her expensive all-girl prep school. Jonathan is sure that all of this has something to do with the one-year anniversary that is coming up. That is the day that Jonathan's beloved wife, Billie, went out for a hike by herself. She never returned. They found one hiking boot in the river and her smashed cellphone.Jonathan changes his life. He gives up his crazy work life. He is now working at home thanks to an advance on a book that he is writing about Billie - their life together and the grief he is experiencing. Olive is also experiencing things - visions of her mother who is asking Olive to come look for her. She final tells her father. He wants her to go to a therapist.
But then one day Jonathan thinks it finally time to clean out Billie's things. He begins to find signs that he may not have really known her at all. So father and daughter begin to look into Billie's past. I loved it!
