Planes are grounded, satellites fail, and speculation abounds. Many believe this could be first contact with extraterrestrial life. But for Alex, a thirtysomething lawyer who’s spent years distancing himself from the unexplainable, the Signal feels deeply personal—the opening of an old wound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDecades ago, Alex and a girl named Ana both vanished for thirty-six hours while on vacation near Palm Springs. When they returned, dazed but unharmed, the six-year-olds’ account of their experience had all the hallmarks of an alien abduction. The media frenzy that followed made them famous and forged a seemingly unbreakable bond between them—until the mystery behind their disappearance began to tear them apart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the Signal growing stronger, Alex is drawn back to Ana. Now a professional advocate for experiencers of extra-terrestrial contact, she’s leading a retreat near the site of their childhood disappearance. As they tentatively reunite, what starts as a quest to confront the reality of their childhood experience becomes a larger reckoning with friendship, faith, family, and truth itself—what it means to see the stories we tell ourselves for what they really are.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49212917678335,"sku":"9780063441248","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780063441248","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
