The narrator was eight months old when her father died in a car accident in 1963, aged 33. The dead father was the great blank in the family: mother and daughter hardly spoke of him, and when the mother did, the daughter broke off the conversation, unable to bear her pain. Now, having turned sixty, she wonders what became of E.T., then only 28, who caused the accident. How has he lived the last sixty years with that guilt? She sets out to find him and confront him with her family's story. Her search leads her into dark places, and she finds herself knowing more about the man who killed her father than about her father himself.
