Every other weekend, Hope and Eden wait for their father to pick them up at a strip-mall bus stop. It’s the divorce shuffle; they’re used to it. Only this weekend, he’s forgotten, and their world will irrevocably change when a stranger lures them into his truck. More than 20 years later, Hope is a playwright with only one play produced long ago, newly evicted from an illegal sublet, working a humiliating temp job. Eden has long since distanced herself from her family, and no one seems to know where she is. When the man who abducted them is up for parole, the sisters might be able to offer testimony to keep him jailed. Hope sets out to find her sister --- and to find herself --- and it becomes the journey of a lifetime.
