Our Missing Hearts: Reese's Book Club

From the #1 bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere comes a powerful new novel about a mother's unshakeable love.

Twelve-year-old Bird Gardner lives a quiet life with his father, a former linguist. His mother, Margaret, a Chinese American poet, vanished when he was nine. Bird resents her absence, believing she cared more for her banned books than for him. A mysterious drawing in a letter pulls him into a quest to find her, leading him through folktales, an underground network of librarians, and finally to New York City.

This New York Times Best Seller and Editors Picks selection is a thought-provoking, heart-wrenching story about the power of art and love to push back in dangerous times. It explores the lessons passed to children and the potential for art to create change, reminding readers how even supposedly civilized communities can overlook searing injustice.

Named a Best Book of the Year by People, TIME Magazine, The Washington Post, USA Today, NPR, Los Angeles Times, and Oprah Daily, this Literary Fiction novel is a riveting, tender, and timely drama.
