July 1962. A Mi’kmaq family from Nova Scotia arrives in Maine to pick blueberries for the summer. Weeks later, their youngest daughter, four-year-old Ruthie vanishes. Her disappearance will haunt them for years. Meanwhile, Norma grows up as the only child of an affluent family, troubled by recurring dreams that feel more like memories. As she grows older, she realizes her parents are hiding something and spends decades trying to uncover this family secret. “The Berry Pickers” is a riveting novel about the search for truth, the shadow of trauma, and the persistence of love across time.
