Publisher's summary

From the day her five-year-old was abducted, Abigail Fisher vowed never to stop looking until her daughter was safely back home.

But despite multiple searches, 23 years have passed without a trace of Becky Ann. When Abigail learns that death row inmate Megan Winnaker is the same age as her daughter, she begins to wonder if the kidnapper had Becky Ann’s face surgically altered to prevent identification.

Megan Winnaker maintains her innocence, but faces capital punishment if she loses her final appeal. As Abigail launches her own investigation to find out if Megan is truly her daughter, someone wants to stop her in her tracks.

Even when facing mortal danger, Abigail refuses to give up her investigation. But can Megan Winnaker really be her long-lost daughter?

Emotionally Thrilling

I loved this book! Both author and narrator did an incredible job! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I found it hard to put down cuz I just kept wanting to know what was going to happen next! I describe it as emotionally thrilling because, at least for me it took me through ALl the various types of emotions human beings are capable of feeling and it was just one hell of a fantastic ride! Scary at some.points sad and depressing at others and love filled and joyous at other moments, and exciting and ecstatic at others! plus some stress and bliss all mixed up throughout the book as well. It didn't just leave u stuck in one emotion or one type of way. It was a true journey an excellent adventure of some real harsh sh*t that can happen and does happen in real life. The justice system is faaaarrrrr from perfect unfortunately. But nothing is perfect in life except God Himself! Although this book comes close lol!! I definitely recommend it! Especially if you love mysteries and thrillers and stories that will keep you at the edge of your seat!!

Excellent plot

Excellent plot but really dragged at times. Narration was decent but when the female narrator did the “men’s voices,” it could be a little irritating-sounded like they were all grunting.
Still an enjoyable listen and good main characters.

Maybe good story but narrator - horrible!

After 10 minutes I had to call it quits... narrator pauses almost after every word. Very, very annoying!
