February Book Club: Thrity Umrigar, Missing Sam


Listen Later

Announcing the February Gays Reading Book Club Pick...


⭐️ MISSING SAM by Thrity Umrigar, the bestselling author of HONOR


At first glance, MISSING SAM looks like a classic thriller: a woman goes missing after a morning run and her wife is left behind to search for answers. But very quickly, this book becomes something much deeper. The book is about what happens when grief collides with prejudice. About how quickly suspicion attaches itself to certain bodies. About love, marriage, and what it means to feel unsafe not just in the world, but inside your own community.
