This tells the story of Maggie, a missing person in Australia who is in reality living in the states with a new identity. From Maggie's perspective, we hear how she got there, and the awful circumstances that drove her to make such a desperate move. She recounts her time in foster homes in Australia, and the sexual abuse and trauma she suffered at the hands of the people that were supposed to protect her. The writing is perfect; it's controlled, tight, and impeccably timed.  Easily one of the most assured and compelling pieces of literature I have read for a long time. Is "phenomenal" too strong a word? 

Lots of content warnings for sexual assault and child death for this one, but if these themes are okay for you, I really could not recommend it more.
