Ten years after her teenage daughter disappears, a woman
crosses paths with a charming single father whose young
child feels eerily familiar, in this evocative,
suspenseful drama from New York Times bestselling author
Lisa Jewell—perfect for fans of Paula Hawkins and Liane
Moriarty.
Ellie Mack was the perfect daughter. She was fifteen, the
youngest of three. She was beloved by her parents,
friends, and teachers. She and her boyfriend made a
teenaged golden couple. She was days away from an idyllic
post-exams summer vacation, with her whole life ahead of
her.
And then she was gone.
Now, her mother Laurel Mack is trying to put her life
back together. It’s been ten years since her daughter
disappeared, seven years since her marriage ended, and
only months since the last clue in Ellie’s case was
unearthed. So when she meets an unexpectedly charming man
in a café, no one is more surprised than Laurel at how
quickly their flirtation develops into something deeper.
Before she knows it, she’s meeting Floyd’s daughters—and
his youngest, Poppy, takes Laurel’s breath away.
Because looking at Poppy is like looking at Ellie. And
now, the unanswered questions she’s tried so hard to put
to rest begin to haunt Laurel anew. Where did Ellie go?
Did she really run away from home, as the police have
long suspected, or was there a more sinister reason for
her disappearance? Who is Floyd, really? And why does his
daughter remind Laurel so viscerally of her own missing
girl?
