Alice Black by J. Schlenker
At eighteen, right out of high school, Alice Black leaves her clinging mother in Queens, New York to live with a rebellious Columbia University law student in rural West Virginia. After five years, she returns home to take care of her mother as well as to seek answers before her mother dies regarding her father’s disappearance years ago. Her mother takes the secret to her grave. Alice is ready to give up hope of ever knowing what happened to him until she receives a visit from a detective and a cryptic message from a fortune cookie.
