Why read it?

1 author picked Our Missing Hearts as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This one captured my heart completely, and I sobbed at the end. Although dystopian, it is a timely story about the consequences of racism, oppression, and fear in America. The main characters are a boy and his missing mother. His quest to find her will touch you deeply.

I love emotionally gripping books that carry a deep message or meaning, and this one does that beautifully.

From Diane's list on strong, persistent women.
