Description
When Ruthy Ramirez disappears from her Staten Island neighborhood, her Puerto Rican family is left to confront years of unanswered questions, grief, and the media’s indifference to missing women of color. Decades later, Ruthy’s sisters, Nina and Jessica, are drawn into a true-crime television production that promises to uncover the truth—but forces them to reckon with how their family’s pain is being packaged for public consumption. Blending suspense, family drama, and sharp social commentary, the novel explores sisterhood, identity, class, representation, and the lasting impact of unresolved loss. It is a compelling and incisive debut about who gets remembered, who gets believed, and who controls the story.
