The Sweet Relief of Missing Children: a Novel Sarah Braunstein Unabridged edition

In New York City, a girl called Leonora vanishes without a trace. Years earlier and miles upstate, Goldie, a wild, negligent mother, searches for a man to help raise her precocious son, Paul, who later discovers that the only way to save his soul is to run away. As the narrative moves back and forth in time, we find deeper interconnections between these stories and growing clues about Leonora ? this missing girl whose face looks out from telephone poles and billboards ? whom one character will give anything to save.
