Six women - mothers, daughters, sisters - gone missing.
Inspired by the unsolved murders of the Chillicothe Six, this is the story of two sisters, both of whom could be the next victims.
Arcade and Daffodil are twin sisters born one minute apart. With their fiery red hair and thirst for an escape, they form an unbreakable bond nurtured by their grandmother's stories. Together they disappear into their imagination and forge a world where a patch of grass reveals an archaeologist's dig, the smoke emerging from the local paper mill becomes the dust rising from wild horses galloping deep beneath the earth, and an abandoned 1950s convertible transforms into a time machine that can take them anywhere.
But no matter how hard they try, Arc and Daffy can't escape the generational ghosts that haunt their family. And so, left to fend for themselves in the shadow of their rural Ohio town, the two sisters cling tight to one another.
Years later, as the sisters wrestle with the memories of their early life, a local woman is discovered dead in the river. Soon, more bodies are left floating in the water, and as the killer circles ever closer, Arc's promise to keep herself and her sister safe becomes increasingly desperate - and the powerful riptide of the savage side more difficult to survive.
Drawing from the true story of women killed in Chillicothe, Ohio, acclaimed novelist and poet Tiffany McDaniel has written a moving literary testament and fearless elegy for missing women everywhere.

Tiffany MCDaniel is a lyrical genius!
This beautifully written story, inspired by the "Chillicothe Six", six women who disappeared in the same area around the same time, sweeps you into its world full of despair, drugs, death and violence. This story is as beautiful as it is sad. It follows Arcade Doggs and her twin sister Daffodil from the age of eight. Growing up in a house of drugs, their lives have never been easy but one thing they could always count on was each other. When their friends start disappearing, Arcade finds it more and more difficult to protect Daffy from the rising threat. A devastating tale of womanhood, sisterhood and friendship.
