I loved this book! I stayed up late last night finishing it. It's a story about a mother who's son gets kidnapped, and how she is really the only one who hangs in there after time has passed, to keep on believing that he is alive and that she she still has hope that he will be found. The relationships in the book are interesting, and one experiences very deeply her emotional life and what she had to go through in terms of dealing with society and the alienation that she contended with, in her persistence not to give up.

Wow - what a great book. A little boy goes missing and the story revolves around the mother & father and how they deal with searching for him. This story will hit home to any parent. Susan (the mom) has so much strenght and courage throughout this book.

I highly recommend this one!

This book was so incredibly good I could not put it down. Heartbreaking sorry about a missing 6 year old boy and how it affects his family, especially his mother. Would highly recommend!

Very detailed, but I read it straight through and I thought it was intriguing enough to finish.
