The+Year+We+Disappeared

Cylin was just nine years old when her father was shot by a local mobster in 1979, and it changed their lives forever. People say that a lot, don't they? Changed their lives forever. I'm not quite sure what it really means. Perhaps it's used so much that it really doesn't mean much at all most of the time. Well, //The Year We Disappeared// makes it mean something. Told in alternate chapters by father and daughter, and covering the year after John Busby's shooting, it makes the true costs of violence very clear.
