When a Daughter Disappears in a City on Fire
The summer of 1974 sits heavy over Boston like a wet blanket nobody can kick off. Mary Pat Fennessy wakes in her Commonwealth housing project apartment to another sweltering morning, the brick walls trapping heat like an oven set on slow roast. She's a single mother working twelve-hour shifts at a nursing home, her hands permanently rough from lifting patients and changing sheets. Across the breakfast table, her seventeen-year-old daughter Jules picks at day-old bread, her tough-girl facade cracking as she talks about being forced to attend school in Roxbury-what everyone in South Boston calls "dangerous territory." When Jules doesn't come home that night, Mary Pat's world fractures. But this isn't just a story about one missing girl. It's about how an entire city's racial hatred, wrapped in the language of neighborhood loyalty and school choice, creates the conditions where children vanish and everyone pretends not to notice.
