| Synopsis | Katie Mackey, age nine, heads out to the library and never returns home, and the life of her family is forever altered. Seemingly carefree--rich, beautiful, lucky--the Mackeys' lives don't bear looking into deeply, but that, of course, is exactly what Lee Martin does in THE BRIGHT FOREVER. As Katie's disappearance remains a mystery, the family's secrets are revealed in a richly textured multi-voiced narrative.

| | Publisher's Note | On an evening like any other, nine-year-old Katie Mackey, daughter of the most affluent family in a small town on the plains of Indiana, sets out on her bicycle to return some library books.
This simple act is at the heart of The Bright Forever, a suspenseful, deeply affecting novel about the choices people make that change their lives forever. Keeping fact, speculation, and contradiction playing off one another as the details unfold, author Lee Martin creates a fast-paced story that is as gripping as it is richly human. His beautiful, clear-eyed prose builds to an extremely nuanced portrayal of the complicated give and take among people struggling to maintain their humanity in the shadow of a loss.
Reminiscent of books such as The Little Friend and The Lovely Bones, but most memorable for its own perceptions and power, The Bright Forever is a compelling and emotional tale about the human need to know even the hardest truth.
