In a suspenseful follow-up to her critically acclaimed Cover of Snow, Jenny Milchman ratchets up the tension with this edge-of-your-seat story of a mother determined to find her missing children.
Liz
Daniels has every reason to be happy about setting off on a rare family
vacation, leaving behind her remote home in the Adirondack Mountains
for a while. Instead, she feels uneasy. Her children, eight-year-old
Reid and six-year-old Ally, have met their paternal grandparents only a
handful of times. But Liz’s husband, Paul, has decided that, despite a
strained relationship with his mother and father, they should visit the
farm in western New York where he spent his childhood.
On
their way to the farm, the family stops at a hotel for the night. In the
morning, when Liz goes to check on her sleeping children, all her
anxiety comes roaring back: Ally and Reed are nowhere to be found. Blind
panic slides into ice-cold terror as the hours tick by without anyone
finding a trace of the kids. Soon, Paul and Liz are being interviewed by
police, an Amber Alert is issued, and detectives are called in.
Frantic worry and helplessness threaten to overtake Liz’s mind—but in a
sudden, gut-wrenching instant she realizes that it was no stranger who
slipped into the hotel room that night. Someone she trusted completely
has betrayed her. Though she knows that Ally and Reid are safe, Liz will
stop at nothing to find them and get them back. From her guarded
in-laws’ unwelcoming farmhouse to the deep woods of her own hometown,
Liz follows the threads of a terrible secret to uncover a hidden world
created from dreams and haunted by nightmares.
