Summary of Laura Smith's The Art of Vanishing

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I grew up in Washington, D. C. , and would pass by houses to wonder about the people who lived inside. I imagined that when I grew up, I would live all over the world. But I realized that these people had nothing to do with the world of mystery, dark deeds, and wilderness that I was sure was out there somewhere.

#2 The author’s fantasy of leading an adventure life began to fade as he grew up. He heard about a young woman named Barbara Newhall Follett, who had published an acclaimed novel at the age of twelve. She had been writing short stories since the age of five.

#3 I was looking for Barbara, the last seen person, and I was sure I would not find her. I was just a year older than Barbara when she vanished, and I had a sense that the decisions I was making would determine the rest of my life.
