When Ona Gritz’s adopted sister Angie disappears, Ona finds herself conflicted between being concerned and feeling indifferent due to Angie’s previous disappearing acts.  This all changes when Angie, her infant son, and her husband are found murdered, execution style. 

In the new book, EVERYWHERE I LOOK (Apprentice House Press, April 16, 2024), author Ona Gritz recounts how, after struggling with her grief, she realized how many aspects of Angie’s life were misunderstood…or kept from her.  With an investigator’s grit, Ona embarks on an investigation to uncover secrets that could change everything she thought about her family.  

All through their lives, Angie was always the rebellious and unwanted sister, while Ona was the golden child, who also suffered from health issues from birth.  Written as a letter to Angie, Ona is refreshingly honest about herself, doesn’t sugarcoat her actions growing up, and comes to terms with her role in Angie’s feelings of being unwanted.  At its core, EVERYWHERE I LOOK is a wildly fascinating, if heartbreaking, story about families and the secrets that lurk just out of reach.
