How to Disappear

by Sharon Huss Roat

Vicky Decker has perfected the art of hiding in plain sight. But when her only friend moves away, Vicky s mother is desperate for Vicky to meet people, even if it means stepping in to help. To avoid that embarrassment, Vicky decides to invent a social life by Photoshopping herself into photos and posting them on Instagram under her screen name, Vicurious. As she adds herself to photos from all over the world, her online followers multiply, but the more followers she finds, the clearer it becomes that there are a lot of people out there who feel like she does #alone and #ignored in real life. And when danger comes to one of her followers, Vicky must find the courage to stop living vicariously, come out from behind her screen, and show the world her true self.
