Abstract
dc:description.abstractRefrain is set in 1950s Larissa, TX, where the disappearance of four local girls catapults the town into crisis, forcing them to confront their complicity and disregard for Native American life. Told from multiple points of view, including that of 11-year-old Emily, who must reckon with her own racial identity after being visited by her ancestors, the novel excavates the town's violent history amidst the urgent search for the abducted children.
