Publisher's summary

She looked away for only a second....

Anne White looked away for only a second, but that’s all it took to lose sight of her young daughter.

But seven years later, Abigail is found.

And as Anne struggles to connect with her teenage daughter, she begins to question how much Abigail remembers about the day she disappeared....

Addictive, edge-of-your-seat dark women’s fiction perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, BCC drama Thirteen, and Emma Donoghue’s Room.

mixed feelings

The premise of this book has promise, and there were some interesting moments. Alot of the book just seemed to drag and drag. Also this Is about a missing child who comes home after 7 years, when thay happens it's just not conceivable that the police would just dump them off and say here ya go. The book does have some tender moments and she tried to bring the characters to life but it just didnt work. It wasnt horrible but a book of this style should have you thinking about it afterwards not saying thank goodness I'm finally done with that.

Good right from the start...

Different, interesting and extremely well written. Plenty of twists but believable. I was completely immersed the entire way through. It was touching too. Some of the insights of the 15 year old narrator reminded me of myself. Good character development... couldn't find anything at all wrong with this book. Two thumbs up!
