It's been almost a year since the automobile accident, but Crystal is still struggling with the belief that it was somehow her fault; her fault that her father is dead, her fault that she is confined to a wheelchair. Now Crystal must deal with yet more grief. Her grandmother's recent death has left Crystal and her mother with the painful talk of sorting through Gram's possessions - and facing their own memories. It's then that Crystal's life takes another turn. Her mother is suddenly offered an art exhibition at a gallery in New Mexico - an opportunity she can't afford to turn down. While she's away, Crystal is left in the care of an eccentric friend of her grandmother's named Zola. But Zola, Crystal soon discovers, is suffering memory loss. And one day she disappears. Has she wandered into the life-threatening heat of the Arizona desert? Has she simply gone on a trip with her brother? Or is there something more sinister involved? A series of alarming incidents convinces Crystal that she must find Zola as quickly as possible. Two mysteries escalate simultaneously in Marianne Mitchell's vividly written novel. The question "Where's Zola?" forces Crystal to confront another equally baffling question: Now that her life has changed so dramatically, who is Crystal?
