A father and his non-verbal teen son go missing in a park in Virginia. After some misjudgements, his family doesn't notify anyone that he's missing until later. In the course of the search for the father, we learn more about the son's capabilities and what he and the father were doing together. This is a lovely story about communication and competence within a family, told from the perspective of the young adult daughter. Highly recommend.
