Story
When Mary met Will Jordan online, she was a single mother who’d given up trying to find Mr. Right. And yet here he suddenly was: articulate and attractive, with a fascinating background. Soon they were in love, and when he proposed after a month, it seemed recklessly romantic. Caught up in a whirlwind, Mary accepted that Will’s work often took him away from home, out of contact. She was his rock, supporting him emotionally when a misunderstanding led to criminal charges, and even selling everything when blackmailers threatened to kidnap their children.

Choosing to ignore ominous early symptoms, he was still troubled enough to write in his journal "just for the record...I am frightened because things are happening to me that I can’t explain away." What follows is a race against time to return home to Seattle for months of chemotherapy, countless complications, and a search for as much normalcy as possible when forced to face mortality at 20.

Two months a widow, Mallory Dent has made the impulsive decision to pack up and move on. In remote McNamara, nestled in the northern mountains, she can escape her grief, guilt, and pain. But the day Mallory arrives, death follows her, lapping just outside her door. A woman’s body is found floating in Loss Lake - and it’s not the first death on these shores. Locals talk about a monster in the depths with an almost disturbing reverence. Sergeant Joel Benson understands Mallory’s unease. Years ago, his own brother was killed in the home Mallory now owns.
Publisher's Summary
From Aspen Matis, author of the acclaimed true story Girl in the Woods, comes a bold and atmospheric memoir of a woman who - in searching for her vanished husband - discovers deeper purpose.
Aspen’s and Justin’s paths serendipitously aligned on the Pacific Crest Trail when both were walking from Mexico to Canada, separately and alone - both using thru-hiking in hopes of escaping their pasts. Both sought to redefine themselves beneath the stars. By the time they made it to the snowy Cascade Range of British Columbia - the trail’s end - Aspen and Justin were in love.
Embarking on a new pilgrimage the next summer, they returned to those same mossy mountains where they’d met, and they married. They built a world together, three years of a happy marriage. Until a cold November morning, when, after kissing Aspen goodbye, Justin left to attend the funeral of a close friend.
He never came back. As days became weeks, her husband’s inexplicable absence left Aspen unmoored. Shock, grief, fear, and anger battled for control - but nothing prepared her for the disarming truth. A revelation that would lead Aspen to reassess not only her own life but that of the disappeared as well.
The result is a brave and inspiring memoir of secrets kept and unearthed, of a vanishing that became a gift: a woman’s empowering reclamation of unmitigated purpose in the surreal wake of mystifying loss.

Terrible couldn’t even read till the end.
It was like the author sat with a thesaurus and tried to fit as many big words in one sentence as she could. It made the reading very boring and monotonous.

Too long
I loved the last third of the book where it picked up pace. It could have done with a really big edit but lyrical and lovely none the less. perhaps overly wordy in parts. The story is powerful and a lot more could have been more political with the ascension of the, #metoo movement.

Not what the description claims
This book is a boring memoir written about writing a memoir. I hated every second of it but kept going hoping something of interest would happen because it was so heavily promoted to sound like a mystery of a missing husband's secret. The writer's language is overly flowery and excruciatingly descriptive with a million similes that should have been edited out. It was pretentious and pointless. I got it for free with Kindle Unlimited and yet weirdly feel like I vastly over payed for the experience- it was that awful. Like waiting in line for 7 hours at a knock off amusement park to be told the line WAS the ride.

A note to the author
One flowery description followed another. Fire your editor. Then take one chapter each from anything by Hemingway, Joan Dideon, etc. and crossed out all the overly descriptive words. Then read the rest . You will still find the real story...the meat. You will know who they are.Now do the same to one of your chapters - no meat. It was so sugary and where was Aspen? Make your next book REAL and cut the bullshit. All beauty is rendered meaningless when it is every other word! This is my first negative review. I kept fast forwarding in hopes of finding anything rewarding. I didn’t bother to stay around to see what happened. Your reader also never relayed sadness/anxiety/etc. it was the same tone throughout. However, it wouldn’t have mattered. Read this again in ten years and I hope you thank me.

Simile and the world similes with you
Not! This book should have won the International Imitation Raymond Chandler Writing contest. I started counting the 'like's' and 'as's' and then just gave up when even that game wasn't amusing anymore. How in the world did this book get published? The editor(s) associated with this book should be fired and the writer should go back to Middle School English class and start all over again. No wonder the narrator sounds like her brain was numbed by the exercise of reading the words aloud.

Wordy and Self-Indulgent
The narrator had an unevan pace sometimes. The author manages to write many words with little or elusive content. I get no feeling of character depth or development. I gave up about 1/3 of the way through. No narrative intentions had surfaced for me.

Story is about her career NOT the missing person.
I love stories about relationships and this one sounded really interesting but once I got into it it was mostly the writer humble bragging about her career and her successes as a writer. Only a small portion of the book is about the "missing person". Very disappointing. The writer also uses extremely overly flowery language. Not my cup of tea at all.

a marriage of co dependence
I was very hooked on reading this story because it is well written. however the narrator is a twenty one yr old woman who meets a man while on that Pacific Crest trail and they find enough similarities of need and decide to continue the long hike together. Debbie has come to the woods to escape her past and finds her present can neatly fit in with Justin's. the problem is Justin although kind and loving has no intention of supporting a relationship if he is expected to become responsible in the typical expectation of getting a job and realignment of his own behaviors that fit his needs. Debbie aspires to be an author and Justin takes her to New York to reach her goal. Everything is fine until Debbie suggests marriage. Debbie is ok with having a husband with no ambition to get a real job until reality sets in. I felt sorry for Debbie and at times for Justin . However it ends well when each realize they are better apart so real goals.

Waste of time
This was not about a missing person. It was about a man-child who didn't want a grown up job and who wanted his wife to take care of him; and a privileged, whiney wife who can't even put her own contacts in. She tries way too hard to impress with overly descriptive and unnecessary words. Pretentious.
