In this book, teenage Dusty is facing the terrible trials of abandonment when she loses her mother after her brother mysteriously disappears. A phone call in the middle of the night causes Dusty's world to collapse even more; the caller wants to commit suicide and needs someone to talk to. AND..."the boy" (the caller) is linked to Dusty's brother's disappearance! This is a psychological mystery novel. The characterization of Dusty was phenomenal -- the reader embarks on the journey to find "the boy" (the caller) with Dusty as she is led by her suspicions. This book captures the human mind through Dusty's trials and triumphs. A great read for those who like to "be" in a story. -- Ashley H.
