The God of the Woods

by Liz Moore

August 1975: thirteen-year-old Barbara Van Laar vanishes from her family's summer camp in upstate New York, where her family employs most of the region's residents. But this isn't the first disappearance to haunt the Van Laars. Moore crafts a sprawling mystery that spans decades, examining class, privilege, and the secrets families bury in the woods.
