Unless by Carol Shields

Reta Winters has many reasons to be happy, among them her three almost grown daughters, her 26-year relationship with their father, her work translating the French intellectual and feminist Danielle Westerman, and the modest success she's had with her own novel. Then one day, her eldest daughter, Norah, disappears and ends up mute and begging on a Toronto street corner. Around Norah's neck is a hand-lettered sign reading G O O D N E S S . And Reta, full of sudden anguished insight into the injustices of the gendered world, must tackle the mystery of her daughter's message.
