Book Description:
Aubrey Wallace is the kind of man no one notices. Dotty Johnson is the kind of woman no one can ignore. One afternoon, they both disappear from the small Vermont town where they live. The next day, two hundred miles away, a toddler is snatched from her Massachusetts home.
For the next five years, Aubrey, Dotty, and the kidnapped child - bound together by strange love and desperate need - are trapped in a nomadic existence governed by their constant fear of discovery. Canny, the little girl, becomes Aubrey's entire existence. But Dotty wants out. She is tired of being saddled with this fearful little man. When she meets Jiggy Huller, a brutal ex-convict, the wheels of Canny's return to her natural parents are wrenched fatally into motion.

One afternoon, they both disappear from the small Vermont town where they live and the next day two hundred miles away, a toddler is snatched from her Massachusetts home.

This book will send chills up your back, yet keep you turning pages to see what is going to happen next.

Awsome read. This is a powerful book. Don't know if i can put into words how great this book is. A man slightly retarded, a beautiful young woman, she steals a baby. They grow older together for 5 years and then the woman decides to give back the child. Very strong ending WOW I really didn't expect it. Never saw it coming. You'll love this book.

A very good book. Engrossing characters and storyline, one that is hard to put down until you reach the climatic ending.
