Michael and his wife Angela were spending a night at home when the
doorbell rings. In the next twenty fours hours, his life will be changed.
At the door is Michael's ex-wife Erica. Michael has not seen her in over
ten years so what could she possibly want with him.
Erica claims that her daughter Felicity has gone missing. The other
change of events is that Erica claims that Michael is the father and she
needs his help. Michael is having a hard time taking all of this in. Why
after all this time is Erica telling him this now? This comes at the wrong
time as Michael and Angela have been trying to have their own child.
Michael doesn't know why, but he agrees to help Erica find her
daughter.
As the time ticks away Michael and Erica head out to see what they can
find out about Felicity. This trip will take them into many strange
incidents. They find a teacher from her school who showed a lot of
interest in Felicity. The police have already spoken with him, but let him
go. Erica is sure that he had something to do with her daughter's
disappearance.
As Angela sits at home trying to figure things out, she speaks with her
mother-in-law and sister-in-law. It seems that they both had been in
contact with Erica and knew all about this little girl. Angela is shocked
that they kept this information from her and Michael. Everything goes
back to when Michael and his sister Lynn were young. Their little sister
Robyn died when she on a swing set. Both of them have always blamed
themselves for her death. Now it seems everything is coming full circle,
and Felicity may or may not be who Erica claims...
I really enjoyed the fact that SOMEBODY'S DAUGHTER took place in just twenty-
four hours. David Bell did a great job of describing the characters in
this storyline. To wake up one morning and then all of a sudden
everything in your lives change. Bell's thriller about what people will do
to protect each other is very powerful. Bell also shows how sometimes
secrets have to be told, if nothing else to save people from hurting
each other. Bell also shows how Michael and Angela can overcome
anything. Bell has you on a roller coaster trying to figure out if Michael
is really the father of this child. This book is out now; pick it up, you will
love it.
