Reviews" We Don't Talk About Carol is so much more than your typical missing person story. A twisting mystery spanning six decades as well as a stark reminder of the disproportionate treatment of missing Black girls in the media, Kristen L. Berry has managed to weave such an elaborate web of thematic threads that when you take a step back to admire the full picture, it's a pretty wondrous thing to behold. A fantastic debut." --Stacy Willingham, New York Times bestselling author of Forget Me Not "A riveting page-turner by a powerful new voice. I couldn't put it down." --Joshilyn Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of With My Little Eye "A moving portrait, a compelling family drama, and a riveting cold case . . . This novel swept me away." --Katie Gutierrez, bestselling author of More Than You'll Ever Know "Kristen L. Berry's writing is beautiful, evocative and brilliant. We Don't Talk About Carol shines an insightful light on the many topics in life we don't talk about enough. Berry weaves a suspenseful tale while handling themes of generational trauma and grief with vulnerability and grace. I loved the parallels between Sydney trying to make sense of her family's past while also building a foundation for her future. Packed with relatable characters and gasp-inducing reveals, this debut is perfect for fans of true-crime podcasts and captivating mysteries." --Miranda Smith, author of Smile for the Cameras
SynopsisA dedicated journalist unearths a generations-old family secret--and a connection to a string of missing girls that hits way too close to home--in this gripping debut novel., A dedicated journalist unearths a generations-old family secret--and a connection to a string of missing girls that hits way too close to home--in this "nail-biting debut" ( Booklist ). "A well-written, emotionally wrenching tale."--Associated Press In the wake of her grandmother's passing, Sydney Singleton finds a hidden photograph of a little girl who looks more like Sydney than her own sister or mother. She soon discovers the mystery girl in the photograph is her aunt, Carol, who was one of six North Carolina Black girls to go missing in the 1960s. For the last several decades, not a soul has talked about Carol or what really happened to her. But now, with her grandmother gone and Sydney looking to start a family of her own, she is determined to unravel the truth behind her long-lost aunt's disappearance, and the sinister silence that surrounds her. Unfortunately, this is familiar territory for Sydney: Years earlier, while she worked the crime beat as a journalist, her obsession with the case of another missing girl led to a psychotic break. And now, in the suffocating grip of fertility treatments and a marriage that's beginning to crumble, Sydney's relentless pursuit for answers might just lead her down the same path of self-destruction. As she delves deeper into Carol's fate, her own troubled past reemerges, clawing its way to the surface with a vengeance. The web of secrets and lies entangling her family leaves Sydney questioning everything--her fixation on the missing girls, her future as a mom, and her trust in those she knows and loves. Delving into family, community, secrets, and motherhood, We Don't Talk About Carol is a gripping and deeply emotional story about overcoming the rot at the roots of our family trees--and what we'll do for those we love., A dedicated journalist unearths a generations-old family secret-and a connection to a string of missing girls that hits way too close to home-in this "nail-biting debut" ( Booklist ).
