Publisher's summary

A small-town lawyer has been searching for his daughter for eighteen years. Now a local girl has gone missing, and he’s determined to find them both—no matter the cost.

Buddy Smith built his law practice around tracking down missing children. After all, he knows the agony of being separated from a child. Not long after his daughter’s birth, her mother took her and ran away. Buddy hasn’t seen either since.

Gracie Blaylock has known Buddy her entire life, and now that she is clerk of court for the county, their paths cross frequently. When Gracie hears that a teenager is missing, she knows Buddy is the one for the case.

The missing girl’s parents are desperate for answers. Together with Gracie and Mayleah—the new detective in town—Buddy chases every lead, hoping to reach the missing teen before it’s too late. While he pursues one girl, he uncovers clues that could bring him closer to the daughter he thought he’d lost forever.

Master storyteller Robert Whitlow will keep you guessing in this gripping legal drama while also reminding you of the power of God’s restoration.

So beautiful!

The story itself was beautifully written and as usual, perfectly narrated by Mr. Godfrey. One of my favorites so far!

Great story

Less about the court system and more about relationships and family. I would recommend it

Good book

So this is my first book by Robert Whitlow. It definitely will not be my last.

I have been looking for quite some time for an author who does not use profanity etc. in their books. So refreshing to finally find one.

As a Christian, obviously I do not mind the religious overtones.

The story did not have as many twists and turns as I would expect, it was overall a pretty light read in a sense.

I also, as has been mentioned by one or two others, I was not thrilled with the narration.

The voices all kind of blended together/sounded the same.

But overall, very happy with the story. Looking forward to more by this author

It's not my normal type to read, more murder mystery reader here. The book kept my attention and interest throughout.

Touching

Surprised by the title. I didn't expect a romance. The part about the drugs was more what I expected.

Another Whitlow Home Run!

One of the best! It kept me engaged to the very end. It has all the right ingredients...romance, mystery and suspense with an unexpected twist not to mention, a faithful focus.
