Ladder of Years

Forty-year-old Delia Grinstead is last seen strolling down the
Delaware shore, wearing nothing more than a bathing suit ---
carrying a beach tote with five hundred dollars tucked inside. To
her husband and three almost-grown children, she has vanished
without trace or reason. But for Delia, who feels like a tiny gnat
buzzing around her family's edges, "walking away from it all" is
not a premeditated act, but an impulse that will lead her into a
new, exciting and unimagined life.
