SUMMARY:AM Page Turners - The Berry Pickers
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion on The Berry Pickers (2023\, 
 Historical Fiction) by Amanda Peters (307 pages\, 4.1 on Goodreads).\n\nA 
 four-year-old Mi’kmaq girl goes missing from the blueberry fields of 
 Maine\, sparking a tragic mystery that haunts the survivors\, unravels a 
 community\, and remains unsolved for nearly fifty years.\n\nJuly 1962. A 
 Mi’kmaq family from Nova Scotia arrives in Maine to pick blueberries for 
 the summer. Weeks later\, four-year-old Ruthie\, the family’s youngest 
 child\, vanishes. She is last seen by her six-year-old brother\, Joe\, 
 sitting on a favorite rock at the edge of a berry field. Joe will remain 
 distraught by his sister’s disappearance for years to come.\n\nIn Maine\, 
 a young girl named Norma grows up as the only child of an affluent family. 
 Her father is emotionally distant\, her mother frustratingly 
 overprotective. Norma is often troubled by recurring dreams and visions 
 that seem more like memories than imagination. As she grows older\, Norma 
 slowly comes to realize there is something her parents aren’t telling 
 her. Unwilling to abandon her intuition\, she will spend decades trying to 
 uncover this family secret.\n\nFor readers of The Vanishing Half and Woman 
 of Light\, this showstopping debut by a vibrant new voice in fiction is a 
 riveting novel about the search for truth\, the shadow of trauma\, and the 
 persistence of love across time.
