Publisher's summary

How long can a toddler lost in the wilderness survive once the temperature drops below freezing? How can a normally sedentary woman convince searchers that she—and she alone—can find the child before it’s too late? Anna Reilly grew up in the wilderness and knows it like the back of her hand. Just because she’s not a macho tomboy doesn’t mean she can’t make her way in the forest but she’s away when three-year-old Bobby Deal goes missing and search parties are formed. When she returns, she’s relegated to pouring coffee and handing out donuts. But she knows how to find the missing child if she can only get past the guards keeping throngs away from the forest lest they, too, become lost and make things worse. If only, somehow, she can get into the forest and start looking. She is determined to do her best to save Bobby’s life and her chance comes when she sees Max Colton, her childhood friend who’s stood up for her since they were kids. He’s emerging from the forest to take a break from searching. With his help, she slips into the forest she knows so well and finds Bobby. But finding him is just the beginning. What happens next turns her life upside down. Another story by veteran story-teller, Florence Witkop, peopled with her signature nice, normal people in situations they didn’t look for who are way too busy to fall in love -- but do so anyway.
