PAPERBACK OF APRIL 2023 Twelve-year-old Bird Gardner lives a quiet
existence with his loving father, a former linguist who now shelves
books in a university library. His mother Margaret, a Chinese
American poet, left without a trace when he was nine years old. He
doesn't know what happened to her-only that her books have been
banned-and he resents that she cared more about her work than about
him. Then one day, Bird receives a mysterious letter containing
only a cryptic drawing, and soon he is pulled into a quest to find
her. His journey will take him back to the many folktales she
poured into his head as a child, through the ranks of an
underground network of heroic librarians, and finally to New York
City, where he will finally learn the truth about what happened to
his mother, and what the future holds for them both. Our Missing
Hearts is an old story made new, of the ways supposedly civilized
communities can ignore the most searing injustice. It's about the
lessons and legacies we pass on to our children, and the power of
art to create change.
