Garnett Patton thought her life was over the day she
discovered that her ex-husband kidnapped their little girl,
Sophie. Nearly a year had passed, with no trace of where
they could have gone. Now after sacrificing nearly
everything she has to continue the investigation and find
her daughter, the money is gone, the private investigator
has quit, and it doesn't seem like the police are doing much
to find her.
Detective Julian Cavenaugh is hoping that he can convince
his postman father that the little girl he sees on his route
is not on one of the "missing child" fliers that he delivers
every week. The last time his very conscientious father
thought he'd identified a missing child, he was wrong, and
it nearly destroyed their lives. Now Julian has to do all
he can to find the truth and keep his father from going to
the authorities before they have proof, one way or the other.
Julian knows that only way to appease his father and know
for sure that the little girl from his father's route isn't
the missing girl from the flyer is to go to Alaska and see
the little girl's mother for himself. After arriving he
decides to approach Garnett and explain why he's there. His
biggest concern is that she'll get her hopes up that the
little girl his father saw is her daughter, and in the end
be disappointed.
Garnett can't believe that they finally have a possible lead
to find her daughter. She knows not to get her hopes up, but
it's so hard not to when she's hoped and prayed for so long.
So when Julian says he's going back to look into it
further, there's no way she's going to let him leave her
behind.
If Julian was unsure that this was actually Sophie, his
doubts vanished when they got there and discovered that the
family Sophie had been with had disappeared again, without a
trace.
After using all of his connections, he tracks them to
another town nearby, and another name. Sophie, aka Leah,
has been found. But can Garnett put the past behind her and
give her ex-husband a chance to stay out of prison? Can she
learn to trust again and give Julian a chance to have a more
permanent place in her life? Can she really learn to
forgive and forget?
LOOKING FOR SOPHIE is a really easy read. Emotion runs high
in this book, but the author conveys it in a manner that
makes you feel it. The reader will wonder what they would
do, how they would feel, and eventually if they would make
the same decision faced with the ultimate question: Justice
or the welfare of a child. All in all, I'd recommend it to
anyone who loves happy endings and the journeys that get you
there! Two thumbs up!!
Over a year ago Garnet Patton's young daughter disappeared
without a trace, kidnapped by her ex-husband. And now a
big-city cop thinks a little girl in rural Georgia might
be Sophie. Yet Detective Julian Cavenaugh insists on
proceeding with the utmost caution. The child he saw
appeared healthy and happy and doted on by a loving
father. Without proof that the girl is Garnet's daughter,
Julian can't make false accusations against an innocent
man. Or raise a desperate mother's hope. Especially when
he's already emotionally involved.
Garnet knows in her heart that the girl is Sophie. And
that she's fallen for Julian when she never expected to
feel anything again. But when they arrive in Georgia, they
learn that the girl has vanished once more…
