<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Guilt, hope, and persistence propel New York fashion editor Maddy Stewart in her search for her daughter, abducted from the Jersey Shore--a quest that takes her through an unknown underworld in Brooklyn and eventually to Bavaria, Germany.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>When eight-year-old Vinni Stewart disappears from a Jersey shore town, Maddy, her distraught single mother, begins a desperate search for her daughter. Maddy's five-year journey leads her to a bakery in Brooklyn, where she stumbles upon something terrifying. Ultimately, her artist neighbor Evelyn reconnects Maddy to her passion for painting and guides her to a life transformed through art.</p><p>Detective John D'Orfini sees more than a kidnapping in the plot-thickening twists of chance surrounding Vinni's disappearance, but his warnings to stay away from the investigation do not deter Maddy, even when her search puts her in danger. When the Russian Mafia warns her to stop sniffing into their business, Maddy must make a choice whether to save one child--even if it might jeopardize saving her own.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>2019 Eric Hoffer Award Winner in General Fiction</b> <b>2019 Foreword Indies Finalist in Adult Fiction--Thriller & Suspense</b> "Maloney highlights the risks a mother will take to save her child, and the will and determination to never give up hope, in an intriguing literary-thriller/women's-fiction crossover that will appeal to readers looking for a sophisticated puzzle." --<i>Booklist</i> "What makes this book stand out from the usual kidnapping stories is depth and carefully nuancing of Maddy's emotions.
