Set in Milwaukee during the “Dahmer summer” of 1991, A remarkable debut novel for fans of Mary Gaitskill and Gillian Flynn about two sisters—one who disappears, and one who is left to pick up the pieces in the aftermath.

In the summer of 1991, a teenage girl named Dee McBride vanished in the city of Milwaukee. Nearly thirty years later, her sister, Peg, is still haunted by her sister's disappearance. Their mother, on her deathbed, is desperate to find out what happened to Dee so the  family hires a psychic to help find Dee’s body and bring them some semblance of peace. 

The appearance of the psychic plunges Peg back to the past, to those final carefree months when she last saw Dee—the summer the Journal Sentinel called “the deadliest . . . in the history of Milwaukee.” Serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer’s heinous crimes dominated the headlines and overwhelmed local law enforcement. The disappearance of one girl was easily overlooked.

Peg’s hazy recollections are far from easy for her to interpret, assess, or even keep clear in her mind. And now digging deep into her memory raises doubts and difficult—even terrifying—questions. Was there anything Peg could have done to prevent Dee’s disappearance? Who was really to blame for the family's loss? How often are our memories altered by the very act of voicing them? And what does it mean to bear witness in a world where even our own stories are inherently suspect?

A heartbreaking page-turner, Willa C. Richards’ debut novel is the story of a broken family looking for answers in the face of the unknown, and asks us to reconsider the power and truth of memory.

Great little toy for playful small dogs
These toys are a soft latex kind of material. I would not recommend these for larger dogs who can wreck a tennis ball, or who are rough with toys. The material of these toys lasts quite a while, but does break down in direct sunlight in addition to dog saliva and being left outdoors in inclement weather. My dogs have played with these toys for a week's time with no adverse reactions from the materials. For a better explanation of the toy, see my video. I show a "durable" toy that is at least 12 years old. I show a similar toy to these here, but shaped like a chicken. It is showing the effects of time, and dog love; it was a favorite of my previous pet, and bequeathed to the dogs I now have. This chicken toy will "disappear" soon because its material is breaking down. I highly recommend these toys for dogs who like small toys, soft toys, and toys that squeak. I do not recommend these for dogs who are "chewers" of toys, large dogs who may swallow this toy(it fits in an average woman's palm), for owners who hate squeeking toys, or for a pack of dogs who will bite and pull at this toy. Although it does have stretch, it can be sliced with sharp teeth, and come apart.

FOUND IT!!!
My dog had found one of these on the road and absolutely love this toy it had hole in it from other dog's teeth hardly bounced but he loved it. I looked in every store I went to trying to find this toy could never find it finally was looking for dog toys found this package, was hoping it was the same thing. Oh it was! When I say my dog loves his toy that is an understatement he has played and will play with this for hours no problem leaving him at home alone he is entertained. If he's not throwing this around and chasing it he's laying down and sleeping because he's wore out. It's squeaky it's bouncy and hopefully durable it is soft fits in his mouth and he just has literally a ball with it. He is laying here panting so much right now from playing with this ball this morning to your dog a favor and yourself get these balls get this toy. On the other side of that you might have to take it away from them when you go to bed at night because ours wants to play with it at the weirdest times and it is squeaky thanks so much hope this helps

These Ones Last - Great for Small-Medium Dogs
I really want to give 5 stars but after a week, 3 of 5 squeak no more. Regardless, more of a donut shape and great for small-medium jaws. Safe to throw around the house and the soft latex easily handles bite after bite without falling apart like other tennis-ball like dog toys. These ones last and are good for hours of fun.
