Chester has been dreading this Christmas dinner from the very moment their mother invited them. Not only have their parents recently divorced, but both their mother, Lynn, and their older sister, Abby, are hell-bent on keeping this dinner exactly as it

In Something Missing, Chester muddles through this raw and chaotic evening by repeating the many lists they have written for themselves as a way to organize the consistent disorder of their world.
