For Marcy Taggart, life has been turned upside down since
the mysterious drowning death of her daughter Devon, who
suffered from bipolar disorder. Now, at the age of 50, and
in the process of divorcing her husband, Mary finds
herself alone in Ireland on the trip that was supposed to
be her 25th anniversary trip. While resting in a Cork pub,
she is startled to look up and see her daughter's face
passing by. She dashes out to catch up with her, but loses
the girl in the rain. But somewhere in her heart and mind,
she has convinced herself that Devon is alive and well and
living in Ireland.
While two men pursue her affections, kindly Vic from the
bus tour, and handsome Liam from the pub, Mary continues
her relentless pursuit of the girl she thinks is her
daughter.. Her search leads her to some dead ends, and some
promising leads. It also leads her to a possible kidnapping
plot and puts her in the path of more than one shady
character.
After her hotel room is trashed and all of her belongings
cut to shreds, her husband cuts off her credit cards, and
her sister and the Irish police think she is a crazy
woman, the odds that Mary will be able to solve the mystery
of her daughter's disappearance begin to look bleak. Is the
girl she believes is her daughter in danger or involved in
the kidnapping plot? Which of Mary's would-be beaus is
really looking out for her best interests?

New York Times bestselling author Joy Fielding tells an
unforgettable story of a newly divorced woman attempting to
heal her heartache, only to find herself on a desperate
search for her daughter.
Fifty-year-old Marcy Taggart’s life is in shambles. Two
years ago, her twenty-one-year-old daughter, Devon, perished
in a canoeing accident. Her body was never found in the icy
waters of Georgian Bay, and as a result Marcy has never
fully accepted her death. She continues to see the young
woman’s face in crowds and has even stopped strangers on the
street, certain she has finally discovered her long lost
daughter.
Now in Ireland, on what was originally intended to be a
celebration of her twenty-fifth wedding anniversary—if, that
is, her husband had not left her for another woman—Marcy yet
again thinks she sees her daughter, casually strolling past
her on the sidewalk. So begins Marcy’s desperate search to
find Devon, to find herself, and to find the disturbing
truth that might, in the end, be her only salvation.
Now You See Her vividly displays Fielding’s rare talent for
creating the kind of tension, suspense, and compelling
heroines readers crave. Riveting from start to finish, it’s
one fans won’t want to miss.
