"Exquisitely crafted . . . [an] emotive tour-de-force." - Publishers Weekly BookLife (Editor's Pick)
Raised on sunny days at Lake Koda, Jill piloted a speedboat long before driving a car. Her husband and three boys share her love for boating-until a surprise storm and tragic accident change everything.
As grief settles in, Jill and her family are drifting apart. Her relationship with teenage Jake grows strained when everything she says or does seems to be wrong. Her husband, Matt, takes Jake's side, and even her sweet youngest child doesn't trust her judgment.
Jake is trying to be a good kid but doesn't know where to turn when his head and heart are constantly racing, and Matt just wants peace between his wife and son. Tensions build as they bump and bang into one another. There's too much extra space for a family of four living in a home built for five.
Emotional and ultimately hopeful, The Things They Didn't See is the story of a family's love for each other clouded by misunderstandings, guilt and blame as they struggle to overcome unprecedented loss and find connection again.
