An unforeseen turn of events transpires as a mother and wife inexplicably disappears, only to resurface 11 years later in a startling condition, accompanied by a mysterious infant. This unexpected development plunges the family into disarray as they endeavor to reconstruct her distressing odyssey. Concurrently, the involvement of the FBI adds a layer of protection and scrutiny, unearthing a labyrinth of concealed truths. Narrated through alternating timelines, this captivating narrative sustains suspense until its stunning conclusion, ensuring a riveting and unforgettable experience for the audience.
A thoroughly enjoyable read, highly recommended. I will definitely be exploring more books by Lucina Berry!

Abby, the teenage daughter of a missing woman turns out to be a much more complex character than expected. Her character development is perfection. Same for the stepmother, Meredith.
When Abby's mother returns after going missing 11 years ago they all must adjust to a new normal. The secrets her mother keeps turn out to be more damaging than you might have guessed.

Check your trigger warnings. Be prepared to be livid. Meredith is one of the most despicable fictional characters ever.
