by Teresa Newton-Terres, James H. Pence

She grew up in the shadow of a mystery. Teresa Newton-Terres never knew her dad.

Losing him when she was only two, she lived with unresolved grief for almost fifty years.

In 1960, an eminent physicist and six other men including Newton-Terres' father left on a covert Raytheon-related underwater communications experiment.
