Make Believe
by Kristin Anna Froberg

Natasha Lisenko is twenty-two years old.

She's clever, creative, can describe the plot of every episode of Battlestar Galactica , and hasn't left the house in five years.

Her sister, Lena, is an energetic, popular, occasionally cruel high-school cheerleader—or was, the last time Natasha saw her.

As Natasha works her way through delayed adolescence and a strangely evolving relationship with her tutor, her family works to move forward without a sister, without a daughter, and without answers to the questions surrounding her disappearance.

When the case is suddenly re-opened, Natasha is forced to make a decision.

Reality or imagination?

Make believe or truth?

Or can she—as she's been doing for the past five years—go on existing someplace in between?
