Why did Juny's mother go away? And where did she go? Fortunes Neck is a place of deep history and buried memory, a place where secrets grow up out of the earth. Among the first families of Fortunes Neck are the Weirs, Doc and his wife Jeannine. Their pride and joy is their daughter Amy, a pretty girl who wants a history of her own. And that's why she married Johnny Collins and gave birth to a baby girl, Juny. Then one perfect autumn day Amy walked out of all their lives, leaving only a note saying "Gone for mushrooms." Fortunes Neck is a mystery of layers-the mystery of a disappearing bride, the mystery of what it means to make a family, and the mystery of the long, hidden reach of history.
