If your loved ones went missing, would you look for them in every face you passed on the street? Would your heart recognize them if you found them? How long would it take for you to lose all hope? Kathy Herman explores this concept of lost and found adding her own special twist to write an amazing story.

Abby Cummings has never given up hope that she would see her father and sister again even though they disappeared five years ago. When she spots a young girl in town, she knows in her heart that she is her missing sister. Unfortunately, this is not the first time she has believed this, and her family has given up chasing after her hunches. Now she is determined to prove them wrong, and in order to find the girl she saw, she enlists the help of her friend J.D. What will they find? Could that little girl really be her sister?

Soon Abby starts receiving threatening phone calls, but that does not discourage her. For Abby there is no going back, and she will let faith be her guide. Once J.D. hears the voice on the other end of the phone, it pulls up a memory that he would rather forget. They set off on a dangerous journey, one that will change their lives forever. Does J.D hold the key to the disappearance of her family? Will Abby find those she seeks?

Kathy Herman writes an exhilarating inspirational suspense. She takes the faith of a child and makes it blossom. Abby holds onto the absolute belief that God will return her father and sister, and she will do whatever is necessary to retrieve them even against the wishes of her family. Her path weaves from time to time, but with the help of her friend, she never wavers from her goal. This story takes us on a roller coaster ride with quite a few turns, some unexpected dips, and a couple flips that take us by complete surprise. Kathy Herman knows how to reel her readers in and keep them guessing all while providing an uplifting message. NOT BY SIGHT is a riveting read that sets the stage for a thrilling new trilogy. I wonder what secrets the Ozarks reveal next.

SUMMARY

Her Sister Couldn’t Be Alive … Could She? It had to be Riley Jo. She was certain. . .wasn’t she? But when Abby Cummings tells her mother she thought she saw her sister at the store, her mother quickly dismisses the idea. After all, Riley Jo and their father had been missing for years. Presumably dead. Yet Abby cannot ignore her intuition. Telling her friend J. D., they investigate. But J. D. may know more about the disappearance than he’s telling, or even realizes. And as they work to uncover what happened, all they have to go on is blind faith. Will it be enough. . .especially considering what the truth might be?
