    When a girl goes missing, a family's loyalty is put to the ultimate test 

    Kirsten Hammarstrom hasn't been back to her Wisconsin hometown in yearsnot since the mysterious disappearance of a local teenage girl rocked the small community and shattered her family.

No one knew what to believe, but the event unhinged the town and put Kirsten's family beneath the crushing weight of suspicion.

      The characters and story seemed so real that I almost forgot I was reading a book!
    • 5/5
      This is very very good. Steeped in the warmth & love of family, how they can misjudge despite deep love. The voice of Kirsten as a child rings true. The ending is a particular surprise & delight.
    • 2/5
      The writing is very simple and basic and it’s terribly slow.
