Howe and Why? is Ted Burton's fourth book.  Five years ago, everything changed for JL Wright. That was the day his wife, Jessica, vanished without a trace. The police believed she’d gone for a runner—but JL never believed it. Jessica would never have left him and their teenage daughter, Jenny, with no word or note of explanation. Not then. Not ever. They’d just moved to Howe Island, fulfilling Jessica’s dream of a quiet life on the St. Lawrence River near Kingston, Ontario. They were happy—or so JL thought. But when Jessica disappears on her birthday, the perfect life they built shatters overnight.
Now, five years later, JL and Jenny are still haunted by the unanswered question that has defined their lives: why did she leave—or who took her? Through moments of heartbreak, resilience, and unexpected laughter, their search for truth will test the boundaries of love, memory, and the secrets we keep even from those we hold dearest.
