Faced with authorities indifferent to another missing Black woman, Autumn must pursue the search for her sister all on her own.With her friends and neighbors, Autumn pretends to hold up through the crisis. But the loss becomes too great, the mystery too inexplicable, and Autumn starts to unravel, all the while becoming obsessed with the various murders of local women and the men who kill them, thinking their stories and societys complacency toward them might shed light on what really happened to her sister.In Speaking of Summer, critically acclaimed author Kalisha Buckhanon has created a fast-paced story of urban peril and victim invisibility, and the fight to discover the complicated truths at the heart of every family."Kalisha Buckhanon has created a narrative voice thats authentic, emotionally charged and wise...
