On the far edge of Prince Edward Island, where poverty is treated like weather and silence passes for good manners, Ruth Blake finds an old wool sweater at the back of her shed and breaks a family rule: she says her sister's name.

Maggie was sent away in the 1970s and never spoken of again. The town accepted it. The house learned how to close itself around absence. Photographs disappeared from the mantel. Decades later, with the sweater laid across a chair and a lifetime of questions held carefully in her throat, Ruth begins to look. She writes letters, asks questions and waits. What comes is polite explanations that lead nowhere and closed doors.
