Six women - mothers, daughters, sisters - gone missing. Inspired by
the unsolved murders of the Chillicothe Six, this is the story of
two sisters, both of whom could be the next victims. Arcade and
Daffodil are twin sisters born one minute apart. With their fiery
red hair and thirst for an escape, they form an unbreakable bond
nurtured by their grandmother's stories. Together they disappear
into their imagination and forge a world where a patch of grass
reveals an archaeologist's dig, the smoke emerging from the local
paper mill becomes the dust rising from wild horses galloping deep
beneath the earth, and an abandoned 1950s convertible transforms
into a time machine that can take them anywhere. But no matter how
hard they try, Arc and Daffy can't escape the generational ghosts
that haunt their family. And so, left to fend for themselves in the
shadow of their rural Ohio town, the two sisters cling tight to one
another. Years later, as the sisters wrestle with the memories of
their early life, a local woman is discovered dead in the river.
Soon, more bodies are left floating in the water, and as the killer
circles ever closer, Arc's promise to keep herself and her sister
safe becomes increasingly desperate - and the powerful riptide of
the savage side more difficult to survive. Drawing from the true
story of women killed in Chillicothe, Ohio, acclaimed novelist and
poet Tiffany McDaniel has written a moving literary testament and
fearless elegy for missing women everywhere. PRAISE FOR TIFFANY
