Burying The Past

MacCready, Robin Merrow. 2006. Buried.

Buried is a strange unfolding mystery of what happened one night when Claudine's alcoholic mother disappears after another drinking binge. Claudine is more parent than a child to her mother. But what happens to Claudine when her mother vanishes from her life altogether? How is she able to cope? And how is she able to fool the world into thinking that her mother is in rehab? Yet with one lie after another, Claudine manages to fool everyone including herself until her mother's whereabouts are even a mystery to her. Her friends and teachers have a right to be concerned as Claudine's behavior spirals from perfect control to chaos proving that what you don't know can continue to haunt you.
