When her estranged mother goes missing, a college student starts her own investigation.  Learning more about her mother, her brutal upbringing as an orphan, her real job, and her strained marriage, she grows more sympathetic, and worried that she will never see her again.  The more she learns, the more she starts to recognize that the true story may be closer to home than she realizes.

Kimberly McCreight’s latest, Like Mother, Like Daughter, explores the mother/daughter dynamic and how those relationships change over time. McCreight has become a favorite since I first discovered her back in 2013 and I look forward to seeing what she does next.
