Helen Bird will stop at nothing to find Henry, her musician son who has mysteriously disappeared in upstate New York. Though the cops believe Henryâ?Ts absence is voluntary, Helen knows better. While she searches for himâ?"joined finally by policeâ?"Jonah is born to Lucie and Matt Pressman of Manhattan. Lucie does all she can to be the kind of loving, attentive mother she never had, but canâ?Tt stop Jonahâ?Ts night terrors or his obsession with the imaginary â?oother mom and dogâ?? he insists are real. Whether Jonahâ?Ts anxiety is caused by nature or nurtureâ?"or something else entirelyâ?"is the propulsive mystery at the heart of the novel. All hell breaks loose when the Pressmans rent a summer cottage in Aurora Falls, where Helen lives. How does Jonah, at seven, know so much about Henry, Helenâ?Ts still-missing son? Is it just a bizarre coincidence? An expression of Jungâ?Ts collective unconscious? Or could Jonah be the reincarnation of Henry? Faced with more questions than answers, Helen and Lucie set out to make sense of the insensible, a heart-stopping quest that forces them to redefine not just what it is to be a mother or a human being, but the very nature of lifeâ?"and deathâ?"because of what Jonah knows.
