the beginning of everything.
But also an end.
Jiordan's family was never quite like everyone else's, with her father's mood swings, her mother's attempts at normalcy, and her two older sisters with a different last name. But on the surface, they fit in. Until the day the FBI came knocking on the door.
After that, her father's mood plunged to a dangerous new low. After that, there was an investigation into his business and a sentencing in court. Soon Jiordan's father would have to leave home, and her family would change forever.
Reckoning with the aftershocks of her father's incarceration, Jiordan had to navigate friends who couldn't quite understand what she was going through, along with the highs and lows of first love. Under it all was the question: If Jiordan's father was gone, why did she feel like the one who was disappearing?
Recounting her own experiences as a teenager, poet Jiordan Castle has created a searing and evocative young adult true-story-in-verse about the challenge to be free when a parent is behind bars.
Jiordan Castle is the author of Disappearing Act, a true story. Her writing has appeared in HuffPost, the New Yorker, and elsewhere. She is a contributor to the LA-based food and culture magazine Compound Butter. Originally from New York, she received her BA in English from the University of San Francisco and her MFA in poetry from Hunter College. She lives in Philadelphia with her husband and their dog.
