Synopsis
Jo Becker, a happily married middle-aged woman, finds virtually every aspect of her stability threatened when an old friend named Eli Mayhew comes to town. Eli reminds Jo of her life as a counterculture free spirit in the '60s, when the murder of her best friend--still unsolved--shattered Jo's life. Now, 30 years later, Jo finds that old issues remain, and she must make decisions that will affect not only herself but her family.

Publisher's Note
âRiveting . . . While I Was Gone[celebrates] what is impulsive in human nature.â âThe New York Times
âMiller weaves her themes of secrecy, betrayal, and forgiveness into a narrative that shines.â âTime
Jo Becker has every reason to be content. She has three dynamic daughters, a loving marriage, and a rewarding career. But she feels a sense of unease. Then an old housemate reappears, sending Jo back to a distant past when she lived in a communal house in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Drawn deeper into her memories of that fateful summer in 1968, Jo begins to obsess about the person she once was. As she is pulled farther from her present life, her husband, and her world, Jo struggles against becoming enveloped by her past and its dark secret.
