Abstract
A tragic accident, and two brothers are left to cope. Ben reads, obsesses. Charlie struggles between silence and anger. Unable to talk about what happened, a tension begins to build, pushing them apart. Then Dill arrives. Carrying only a baseball bat and small duffel bag with a broken zipper, she glides into their lives imperceptibly, raising more questions than answers. They start to become a kind of family. Almost. When she suddenly disappears, what else can Ben and Charlie do but get into their dusty truck and go search for her?
