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.
