    Prologue My father built the house on Langely Lake for my mother, in the town she grew up in. It was a hundred miles from the glassy skyscrapers my father built in the city, and a world away from the Calloway family name and money and penthouse on the Upper East Side. The house on Langely Lake looked unlike any of the other houses in town, with their graying vinyl siding and slouching carports. No, the house on Langely Lake wasn’t a house at all. It was a fortress three stories tall, built of stone, with a thick fence and impenetrable hedges all the way around. When I was a little girl, we spent our summers in that fortress. I remember slumber parties in a tent on the back lawn and afternoons spent sunning on the raft just off­ shore. I remember tall glasses of lemonade sweating on the patio and the sundresses my mother wore and her wide​­ ­ brimmed hats. Once I thought my father had built that house to keep everyone else out, but then my uncle Hank found the photographs. They were in a shoe box, hidden under a loose floorboard in my parents’ bedroom. They were taken that summer, 2007, a few weeks before my mother disappeared. I 1 9780241329498_AllTheseBeautifulStrangers_TXT.indd 1 3/26/18 8:42:03 PM saw the photographs and I realized I had been wrong about everything. Because my father hadn’t built the house on Langely Lake to keep everyone else out. He’d built it to keep us in.

The study was conducted in three small towns in British Columbia, Canada, first in 1973, when one town, Notel, did not yet have television re• ception, and again in 1975, two years after Notel received one Canadian channel, CBC.
