The secret will not be ignored or lost or forgotten. It will not be silenced. Libby wanted to blame the flood that came and stayed until all hope for replanting was lost, drowned their milk cows, and altered the landscape beyond recognition. For years she believed the flood caused the terrible rift that came between Mom and Dad, for the way her mom grew silent and pushed them all away, and for the anger and sadness that tore her dad apart. But there is another reason, a betrayal and an act of rage with consequences so devastating, it must be kept secret. Libby witnesses the tragedy, and in her six-year-old mind, mixes what is real and imagined, until the true memory is repressed. It is decades later when Libby experiences panic attacks which threaten to unhinge her, that the awful memories come back. And she learns, even though her sisters did not know the secret, their lives, too, were changed by it. A Land No Map Can Find is told from the lens of a child as she grows into adulthood, in a struggle against the destructive behaviors of adults, and the consequences of their actions.
