Synopsis: The New England- native author’s critically revered, stunning debut novel which was a PEN/Faulkner and National Book Award nominee. “Aubrey Wallace is the kind of man no one notices. Dotty Johnson is the kind of woman no one can ignore. One afternoon, they both disappear from the small Vermont town where they live. The next day, two hundred miles away, a toddler is stolen from her playpen in the family room of her Massachusetts home. Vanished is the tale of Wallace, a simple laborer in his late forties; Dotty, an abused teenager who flaunts her sexuality; and Canny, the kidnapped child. It is the story of the strange love and desperate need that binds them together for the next five years in a luckless, nomadic existence-bouncing between furnished rooms and diners, picking up a few dollars here and there.
