Summary

A disappearance. A sudden death. A betrayal of the worst kind....

Ella longs for a child, but a gruesome find during an adoption process deepens the cracks in her marriage. A family visit sets off a horrifying chain of events, and Ella can only hope she won't lose the person she loves most of all.

Amanda is expecting her second child when her husband vanishes. She is tortured by thoughts of violence and loss, but nothing prepares her for the shocking conclusion to the police investigation. And in the middle of it all, a little girl is looking for a home and a 'forever' family.

Tedious and unbelievable

Very repetitive. The endless, internal dialogue of the main characters became very tedious, boring and irritating. The exact same musings repeated throughout the story. Cut and paste. I don't understand why this was rated so highly. Where was the amazing twist at the end? There wasn't one. The author/narrator can't have met many 6yr olds. The little girl talks like a 3yrold. and still sounds the same at the end of the tale. really not impressed and annoyed with myself for bearing with it and wasting many hours of my time. It was obvious from chapter 2 where this was going.

Great performance, ok story

An ok story well performed. I found most of the chars to be just sickening and contrived.
