But in 1986, the ground has shifted, and no one feels that more than fifteen-year-old Barrett Childress Owens. Between her parents' unraveling marriage and a school full of kids she can't connect with, she feels invisible in her own hometown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Lacy Gunderson, the captivating new girl everyone is curious about, suddenly vanishes, the town's calm surface fractures.
