"When we finally separated, I was completely alone. I had neglected my social life in favor of being in my husband's circles, and now I really had no friends. I tried to get in touch with my sister again. But she had vanished."
"Vanished?"
"Well I'm sure she hadn't vanished. But it really seemed like she fell off the face of the earth. Email account disabled. Phone disconnected. "
"Did you try to find her?"
"Oh, did I. I didn't know much about her life in California, but I knew where she worked. I called someone there and they, of course, wouldn't tell me anything, but they put me in touch with a couple of guys in her group. They didn't know what happened to her. One day she just gave her notice and quit. About the time she lost touch with me. Didn't tell anyone why. They didn't know her well but one of them knew her church. I called the church to speak with a couple friends. They were baffled too. She just ran off. Left town. Cleared out her apartment. Where'd she go? No one could tell me. No one could say why she left. It was as big a mystery to them as to me."
