Blank. Restless.Drawn to the Pacific Ocean like it’s calling them home. They abandon their lives—jobs, families, their very selves. And once they reach the West, they vanish forever.At the center of the story are three young women caught in the pull of something unstoppable.Aimee follows the trail of her missing best friend to a man called the Piper—known for leading infected women West.Teenie, afflicted and unraveling, clings to a single memory as she looks out the window of the Piper’s van.And Eve, a former journalist, is chasing the story that might just consume her.Each on the edge of transformation. Drawn toward the unknown. In search of a way forward.About the authorAlice Martin holds a PhD in Literature from Rutgers University.
