Inseparable triplets Jackie, Sammie and Alex go to a movie.
But while there, Sammie and Alex disappear, leaving Jackie
and her parents frantic for their safe return.
As the FBI delves into every aspect of their family life,
parents Scott and Katie struggle not to fall apart, scared
every moment about what is happening to their daughters.
Jackie faces survivor's guilt and overwhelming fear.
Although this book is, of course, focused on what has
happened to Sammie and Alex, the real story that draws the
reader in are the reactions of Jackie and her parents. The
devastation and fear surrounding missing children will
touch even people who aren't parents, creating tension as
the reader waits to see if this family will face the worst
life can offer.
One is the loneliest number.
Nine years ago, Katie and Scott Monroe were blessed beyond
their wildest dreams with identical triplets, Sammie, Alex
and Jackie. Three beautiful daughters and two adoring
parents formed the picture-perfect party of five. But this
tight-knit family unravels when the three little girls go
to see a movie, but only one emerges from the darkness of
the theatre. How could Sammie and Alex vanish without a
trace?
Plunged into the abyss of a parent's worst fear, Katie and
Scott hang by a thread - waiting, worrying, not knowing,
and confronting the terrifying realization that the
kidnapping may not have been a random act.
Who took Sammie and Alex? Why? Where are they? When will
they be found? And what if they're never found, or not
found alive? When Jackie, the remaining triplet, crumbles
under the weight of grief and survivor's guilt, Katie and
Scott struggle to hold out hope and hold on to what remains
of their family.
Until - or unless - Sammie and Alex are found safe, this
picture-perfect family can't be put back together again.
