Descent, the story of a family undone by the disappearance of a daughter who went out for a morning run and didnt come back, is stunning in its emotional impacta compulsively readable page-turner with a strong literary sensibility.
The girls vanishingon a sunny, late-summer vacation morningall the more devastating for its mystery, is the beginning of the familys harrowing journey down increasingly divergent and solitary paths, until all that continues to bind them to each other are the questions they can never bring themselves to ask: At what point does a family stop searching? At what point does a girl stop fighting for her life?
