They Almost Always Come Home

She'd leave her husband...if she could find him.
 
When Libby's husband is late returning from a two-week canoe trip to the Canadian wilderness, she imagines the worst. But imagination's fears seem two-dimensional compared to the 3-D reality of what she now faces.
 
The authorities write off his disappearance as an unhappy husband's escape from an empty marriage and unrewarding career. Libby refuses to believ that possibility. If anyone were going to opt for escape, it would have been her. If Lacey hadn't died, their marriage might have survived. But grief's wedge split the distance between them wide open.
 
Libby enlists the aid of her wilderness-savvy father-in-law and her faith-walking best friend to help her search for clues to her husband's disappearance...if for no other reason than to free her to move on. What they discover in the search upends her presumptions about her husband and rearranges her faith.
