"No one ever really paid close attention to the faces of the missing children on the milk cartons. But as Janie Johnson glanced at the face of the ordinary little girl--hair in tight pigtails, a dress with a narrow white collar, a three-year-old who had been kidnapped twelve years ago from a shopping mall in New Jersey--she felt overcome with shock. She recognized that little girl--it was herself. How could it possibly be true?
Janie can't believe that her loving parents kidnapped her, but as she begins to piece things together, nothing makes sense. Something is terribly wrong and Janie is afaid to find out what happened more than twelve years ago. Are Mr. and Mrs. Johnson really Janie's parents? And if not, who is Janie Johnson, and what really happened?"
