![]() ![]() The goofy yet trouble Mick serves as Lisa's frequent babysitter and inspires Lisa through his goofy, fun-loving ways. We are introduced to Uncle Mick, an especially significant presence in Lisa's life. We are taken on their family trip to Monkey Beach where she and Jimmy look for sasquatches and Lisa has one of her first paranormal encounters. Through these recollections, we become acquainted with Lisamarie's family. The memories are often blended together in a non-linear way that makes the book less of a singular narrative than a stitching together of the various pivotal moments that have shaped Lisa's young life. As this is unfolding, Lisa smokes cigarettes and drifts off in various memories of her childhood and adolescence. The Hills quickly head to Namu to search for Jimmy while Lisamarie stays behind at home with her Aunt Edith. ![]() The circumstances of their disappearance are mysterious and there is no sign of the men, alive or dead.
