From one of America's best-loved storytellers - the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller WHERE THE HEART IS - comes her latest national bestseller, a tale of a small Oklahoma town and the mystery that has haunted its residents for years.
In 1972, windswept DeClare, Oklahoma, was consumed by the murder of a young mother, Gaylene Harjo, and the disappearance of her baby, Nicky Jack. When the child's pajama bottoms were discovered on the banks of Willow Creek, everyone feared that he, too, had been killed, although his body was never found.
Nearly thirty years later, Nicky Jack mysteriously returns to DeClare, shocking the town and stirring up long-buried memories. But what he discovers about the night he vanished is more astonishing than he or anyone could have imagine. Piece by piece, what emerges is a story of dashed hopes, desperate love, and a secret that still cries out for justice...and redemption.

About the Author:

From AudioFile:
Mark Albright shows up in the small town of DeClare, Oklahoma, to find his past. Brought up by wealthy adoptive parents in California, he may actually be Nicky Jack Harjoe, who disappeared from DeClare as an infant after his mother was murdered 30 years earlier. His quest to find answers will stir up buried secrets--and crimes--in this small town. Letts's characters are interesting and complex, but this abridgment lets them and the story down by, apparently, leaping ahead and leaving the listener puzzled. While Phillips narrates with gravity, skillfully vocalizing the colorful characters, the confusing abridgment renders this an unsatisfying production.
