I had a whole review written for this but it was wiped by gr. With that said, i want to give this 4.5 stars. This is such a heartbreaking story and McMann does such a good job of showing the impact of the abduction on everyone. I wanted more...felt like I wasn't given the whole story after we find...

McMann's minimalistic, modern prose style is evident in Dead to You.

At the young age of 7, Ethan is abducted and taken care of by a woman (Ellen) until much later in his years abandoned at a boys home. At the age 16 he runs away and finds his family, the De Wilde family...
