2009 book 60

Sandra Novack's Precious
It's a summer in the 70s in a small PA town, and everyone's dealing with a missing girl, and one family's dealing with the fact that their wife/mother left them. It all pretty much plays out the way you'd expect, and I feel like I've read similar books before. I guess it's worth noting that an author's note says some of this is autobiographical, in which case I feel pretty bad for the author, since it's a dark and depressing story. B.
