Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Best-selling psychological suspense and a top Richard & Judy selection.

She was 15, her mother's golden girl.

She had her whole life ahead of her.

And then, in the blink of an eye, Ellie was gone.

Ten years on, Laurel has never given up hope of finding Ellie. And then she meets a charming and charismatic stranger who sweeps her off her feet.

But what really takes her breath away is when she meets his nine-year-old daughter.

Because his daughter is the image of Ellie.

Now all those unanswered questions that have haunted Laurel come flooding back.

What really happened to Ellie? And who still has secrets to hide?

Heartbreaking, compelling

Early on, I wanted to stop reading it. I have a daughter, after three sons, who's now eight. But I had to finish it. It's so well written; and, unfortunately, a storyline that can and has happened.

Loved the story but struggled with the narrator’s voice

I really struggled listening to the narrator’s voice . I put it away a few times but ended persevering, skipping through a lot because of the narration. Great story line
