Summer, 1975 Daisy Nicolazzi is an overweight fifteen-year-old girl whose parents' own the local Italian bakery. As she tries to wade through her emotional high school years at St. Joseph's Catholic School, she understands all too well what it's like to be an outcast. She knows what it's like to be numb. Jett Fontenot is the ten-year-old boy who moves in next door and he has a secret-he sees letters and numbers in specific colors and he can taste peoples' names. He loves black and white movies, hates being touched, and is obsessed with blues singer Etta James. He, too, understands what it's like to be an outcast. He, too, knows what it's like to be numb, even though he is too young to understand it all. Missing From Me is a coming of age story that tackles issues such as bullying, self-harm, eating disorders, and the neurological phenomenon, synesthesia. How far would you go to be accepted? To be loved? What would you do to save a friend from themselves? And when does enough become enough?
