Vanished

"Vanished," winner of the Raz/Shumaker Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Fiction, explores the lives of often overlooked women and girls in upstate New York. This collection of stories features diverse characters, including an aging art professor, a young girl facing a cruel prank, and a television producer confronting the implications of revealing her family’s past. With humor and empathy, each narrative addresses personal loss and the quest for understanding in a world where something or someone has vanished.
