Her daughter was gone. Ten years later she was moving on...finally. But was her daughter as gone as she thought?

Very slow start and I didn't think it was going to pick up. Almost to the end I said out loud "well I still don't understand". Middle gave us all the info but the characters still didn't know. Then the last few pages were just like oh, what's the point of the book of the main character doesn't know guess I better tell her. 

Potentially a good story I just didn't enjoy the way it was presented.

Will not read again.
