Summary

Mary Garrett has a gift for finding missing girls, a special kind of clairvoyance she calls "the sight." She arrives at a small town in the Jim Crow South to discover that not one but three girls have vanished-- two of them Black, their disappearances uninvestigated outside their own community. As it turns out, Mary is herself a "missing girl." In another life, she was a Bennington College sophomore named Paula Jean Welden, who disappeared one night in 1946. As Mary's search for the three girls intensifies, so do the glimpses of Paula Jean"s other possible lives:a circus showgirl hiding from her past, a literary forger on the verge of being caught, a McCarthy-era informant in love with a woman she meets in a Communist cell. -- adapted from jacket
