<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>On the run and needing a place to hide, Elizabeth Lark pretends to be the long-lost daughter of innkeeper Myra Barkley and as she becomes intertwined with the family, she must find a way to confess the truth, especially when someone sets out to make her disappear again.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><i>Your daughter went missing twenty years ago. Now, she's finally back. You thought she had returned a few times in the past, and your husband tells you she's not the one, but you feel it in your bones. </i><br><i></i><br><i>Now, what will you do to keep her home?</i></b> <p/>Twenty years ago, Myra Barkley's daughter disappeared from the rocky beach across from the family inn, off the Oregon coast. Ever since, Myra has waited at the front desk for her child to come home. One rainy afternoon, the miracle happens--her missing daughter, now twenty-eight years old with a child of her own, walks in the door. <p/>Elizabeth Lark is on the run with her son. She's just killed her abusive husband and needs a place to hide. Against her better judgment, she heads to her hometown and stops at the Barkley Inn. When the innkeeper insists that Elizabeth is her long lost daughter, the opportunity for a new life, and more importantly, the safety of her child, is too much for Elizabeth to pass up. But she knows that she isn't the Barkleys's daughter, and the more deeply intertwined she becomes with the family, the harder it becomes to confess the truth. <p/>Except the Barkley girl didn't just disappear on her own. As the news spreads across the small town that the Barkley girl has returned, Elizabeth suddenly comes into the limelight in a dangerous way, and the culprit behind the disappearance those twenty years ago is back to finish the job.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>Call Me Elizabeth Lark: </i></b><br> "The author's evocative prose is a joy to read, and the plot contains some great twists.
