The Night She Went Missing

DEBUT The Callahan family has reigned on the island of Galveston, TX, since the devastating 1900 hurricane. Matriarch Rosalyn is the ruling mistress; Leslie, who married into another prominent island family, is second-in-command—Rosalyn’s right-hand woman at the elite Callahan Preparatory School. But when Rosalyn’s son and his wife move to Galveston after a scandal, they upset the hierarchy and upend the life of their eldest daughter, Emily. Everyone treats Emily like royalty; she’s even overshadowing Leslie’s popular daughter Anna. Morgan, another Galveston resident, wants to trust her son Alex after he was accused of sexual assault three years earlier, but when Emily disappears, Morgan fears he might be involved. Months later, fishermen find Emily floating in Galveston Bay, but she can’t remember what happened. Leslie harbors secrets that implicate her children in Emily’s disappearance, but she will protect them at all costs.
