"Sugar is gone. And the house she once filled with chaos, love, and the unmistakable noise of a dog who had never been quiet, is learning how to hold less."

When their sister Sugar dies, Leo and Louie, two devoted dogs, must learn to live in a house that has lost the heartbeat that held it together. Told from their perspective, The Day She Was Gone is a tender, contemplative debut about grief, memory, and what remains when the smallest member of a family leaves. Leo guards what she left behind. Louie searches for her in every silence. And both brothers must learn what it means when something new arrives at the gate, and whether they are ready to let it in.

The first book in the Echo Trilogy.
