There is a nationwide search with no success. Naomi has vanished, and her family is broken.<br/> </p><p>As the months pass, the worst-case scenarios--kidnapping, murder--seem less plausible. Yet more than a year later, a desperate Jenny is still digging for answers--and what she finds disturbs her.

Piecing together the traces her daughter left behind, Jenny discovers a very different Naomi from girl she thought she'd raised.</p> <p>Jenny knows she'll never be able to find Naomi unless she uncovers the whole truth--a twisting, painful journey into the past that will lead to an almost unthinkable revelation...</p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Jenny is a strong believable character...[her] journey is a memorable one."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em><br><br>"Shemilt injects a great deal of suspense into her narrative in both time frames, even as her fluid prose eloquently captures a mother's grief and painful journey to self-awareness."--<em>Booklist</em><br><br>"It's every mother's nightmare: the disappearance of a child.
