The Other Side of Disappearing – Clayborn Kate (2024)

A poignant, observant, tender and deeply romantic love story about an unexpected road trip, true-crime obsessions and hard-won vulnerability. Hairstylist Jess Greene has spent the past decade raising her younger half-sister, Tegan, while keeping a shocking secret. The boyfriend her reckless mother ran away with is actually an accomplished con man and the subject of a wildly popular podcast, The Last Con of Lynton Baltimore. Now thirty-one, Jess never expected Tegan to piece the connection together. But Tegan intends to leave their safe, stable home to search for their mother, accompanied by the intrusive podcast host and her watchful, handsome producer, Adam. Unwilling to let the sister she has spent so much of her life protecting go alone, Jess reluctantly joins them. Together, the four travel across the country, unravelling the mystery of where the couple disappeared to and why. Along the way, Jess discovers a renewed sense of vulnerability and curiosity, a willingness to move beyond the walls she has carefully built, and an unexpected connection with Adam, if only she can let go and let him in.
