Description
A searing exploration of a family’s struggle to heal in the wake of unthinkable tragedy
A week after his eleventh birthday, Caleb Vincent vanishes with hardly a trace. After a three-year search, he is found living a seemingly normal life under a new name with a man he calls his father.
While outwardly stunned with joy at his safe recovery, Caleb's parents and sister are privately scrambling to gather together the pieces of a shattered family. To escape the relentless media attention surrounding her son’s return, Caleb’s mother, Marlene, decides to flee the country and seek refuge in Costa Rica with Caleb and his younger sister, against her estranged husband's wishes. There Marlene forms a makeshift household with her husband’s expat mother and his charming, aimless older brother, all residing in a broken-down hotel perched at the blustery apex of the continental divide. In the clouds of their new home, the mystery of Caleb’s time gone unfolds while new dangers threaten to pull him back toward his former life.
Where You Can Find Me, a darkly incandescent novel that progresses with page-turning suspense, is sure to establish award-winning author Sheri Joseph as a household name.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"Joseph (Stray, 2007) turns the sensationalistic story of an abused boy who has seen the darkest parts of life into a transformative and often suspense-filled tale of identity and resilience. A deeply moving novel about a family determined to survive the greatest of tragedies."—Booklist (starred)
"A fraught subject, handled
with gravitas and, improbably, grace."—Kirkus
Reviews
“With compassion and profound psychological insight, Sheri
Joseph follows one family through the aftermath of every parent’s worst
nightmare . . . . Suspenseful, beautifully written and utterly convincing,
Where You Can Find Me is hard to put down and impossible to
forget.”—Jennifer Haigh, New York Times bestselling author of
Faith, Mrs. Kimble, Baker Towers and The Condition
"In Where You Can Find Me, Sheri Joseph has written an
engrossing, deeply moving, and emotionally complex novel that has stayed with me
every moment since I first read it, months ago. Joseph writes swift and
faultless prose and miraculously real characters. This book spurs you to pay
close attention to those around you and to love as fully in this life as you
possibly can."—Lauren Groff, author of Arcadia and The
Monsters of Templeton
“What a gorgeous writer! Sheri Joseph's prose
is reminiscent of Michael Cunningham's, brave, compassionate, as clear and
artful as blown glass. What is most shocking is not the devastation wrought on
Caleb Vincent and his family but the grace with which they manage to grow into
their new selves. I did not want Where You Can Find Me to end, but the
climax is so gripping--and terrifying--I tore through the pages.”—Susan
Rebecca White, author of A Soft Place to Land and Bound
South
"Where You Can Find Me is a tender, ticking bomb. Joseph's haunting
novel of lost innocence and second chances is both terrifying and indelible, and
will leave you clutching your family close."—Alexi Zentner, author of
Touch
“Where You Can Find Me is a vivid, page-turning
thriller about a terrible crime, and the way one fractured family puts itself
back together in the aftermath. Beautifully told, with indelible characters,
this novel is full of wisdom about the darkness of the world, and the power we
have to survive it.”—Alix Ohlin, author of The Missing Person
and Babylon and Other Stories
“In the mesmerizing and disturbing
Where You Can Find Me, Sheri Joseph implicates the reader in a journey to
the darkest corners of the soul as she explores the aftermath of horror for a
teenage boy and his family. Yet all is not dark; the complex and vibrant
characters find ample opportunity for surprising beauty. What happens in the
present is as gripping as the mystery of the past, and Joseph creates a delicate
balance of uncertainty and hope that carries us through to the piercing final
pages."—Scott Heim, author of Mysterious Skin and We
Disappear
