Fiction by Catherine Ryan Hyde
In this book, Ella Ginsburg is searching for her brother Simon, who disappeared months ago, leaving behind his car, clothes and wallet. Everyone is pretty sure he's dead, including Simon's wife, but Ella can't accept that.
Ella sets out on this doomed journey, walking without proper shoes or clothes because "that's how Simon did it." She seems to succumb to madness while reliving terrible memories from her and Simon's childhood. There is a resolution at the end but almost the whole story is quite awful.
This is the first novel written by Catherine Ryan Hyde, and it's not nearly as good as her later efforts.
