A Brilliant Mind Adrift in Seattle
Bernadette Fox is drowning in Seattle. Once a celebrated architect who won a MacArthur "genius" grant, she now lives as a recluse in a crumbling former Catholic girls' reform school, avoiding other parents at her daughter's private school with the determination of someone evading arrest. Her husband Elgie is a Microsoft superstar whose TED Talk has millions of views. Their daughter Bee is a precocious fifteen-year-old who survived multiple heart surgeries as a child. When Bee brings home a perfect report card and claims her promised reward-a family trip to Antarctica-Bernadette's carefully constructed walls begin to crumble. How does someone with crippling agoraphobia prepare for a journey to the end of the earth? By hiring a virtual assistant from India for 75 cents an hour, of course. But this seemingly practical solution sets in motion a chain of events that will ultimately lead to Bernadette's disappearance two days before Christmas. The question isn't just where Bernadette went-it's who she really is beneath the neurotic, brilliant exterior she shows the world.
