(Book)

"Siblings Bert, Willet, and Pansy know better than to go swimming at the old rock quarry. According to their father, it's the Devil's place, a place that's been cursed and forgotten. But Mississippi Delta summer days are scorching hot and they can't resist cooling off in the dark, bottomless water. Until the day six-year-old Pansy vanishes. Not drowned, not lost...simply gone. When their father disappears as well, Bert and Willet leave their childhoods behind to try and hold their broken family together" --,Provided by publisher.
