Synopsis: From an Edgar Award winner, this abduction story is &“a compulsive page turner that will have readers cheering on the decidedly unglamorous heroine&” (Kirkus Reviews). Dorrie White should be content with her life. She has a steady job, a loving husband. But Dorrie also has a secret—one that has caught up with her. When she was a teenager in high school, Dorrie got pregnant and put her baby up for adoption. When she discovers her daughter, Juliet, lives nearby, she can&’t help but keep tabs on the girl. But the maternal urge to be close to her child turns into every mother&’s nightmare when, right before Dorrie&’s eyes, Juliet is abducted at a suburban shopping mall, forced into a van that quickly drives away. Stricken, Dorrie does the only thing any mother would: she goes after her. Only to put herself at the mercy of a psychopath, sending her devoted husband on a desperate search to bring her home again. As Dorrie and Juliet struggle together to survive captivity, Dorrie is forced to confront her own dark past. &“A fast-paced, edge of your seat thriller.&” —Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times–bestselling author of The Overnight Guest &“A darkly riveting read . . . Compelling.&” —Wendy Corsi Staub, New York Times–bestselling author of The Other Family &“A truly unique and fascinating heroine.&” —Alison Gaylin, USA Today–bestselling author of And She Was
