When Tania Rife was six years old, a child serial rapist and murderer followed her home from school in a gray sedan. She escaped. But the fear he planted that November afternoon in 1987 didn't leave with him. For thirty years, it traveled with her — into classrooms, parking lots, marriage, motherhood, and the middle of the night. It disguised itself as responsibility. Preparedness. Love. Tania became a woman who appeared utterly capable while her nervous system never once stopped scanning for danger.

When Piper Streyle failed to show up for work, a coworker called her home. Piper's three-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Shaina, answered and said, "A mean man carried Mommy away." Then the line went dead. In the tranquil region of southeast South Dakota, word of the young mother who was brazenly...
