OLDER FICTION
Fountain, Carrie

I'm Not Missing

(2) YA Bold Syd and sensitive Miranda share an unfortunate bond: each has lost her mother. Miranda's mom joined a cult years ago; Syd's alcoholic mom skipped town before Syd's freshman year. As this contemporary drama begins their senior year, Syd, too, disappears, leaving perceptive narrator Miranda to navigate yet another loss. Fountain tenderly explores the great pain and power of forging one's own identity as well as the inescapable influence of loved ones.
