Summary

She becomes aware of the silence at the other end of the line. A prickling sensation crawls up her arms. Her heart speeds up. "Found who?" she asks, slowly, carefully, deliberately.

"They found Daniel."

Six years ago

Megan waits at the school gates for her six-year-old son, Daniel. As the playground empties, panic bubbles inside her. Daniel is nowhere to be found.

According to his teacher, Daniel’s father picked up his son. Except he and Megan are no longer together. After years of being controlled by her cruel husband, Megan finally found the courage to divorce him. Hands trembling, she dials his number, but the line is dead.

Six years later

Megan is feeding her new baby daughter when she gets the call she has dreamt about for years. Daniel has walked into a police station in a remote town just a few miles away.

Megan is overjoyed - her son is finally coming home. She has kept Daniel’s room, with his Cookie Monster poster on the wall and a stack of Legos under the bed, perfect to welcome him back. But when he returns, Daniel is quieter than she remembers....

Desperate to find out what happened to her little boy and to help him heal, Megan tries everything - his favourite chocolate milkshake, a reunion with his best friend, a present for every birthday missed - but still, Daniel is distant.

And as they struggle to connect, Megan begins to suspect that her son is hiding a secret. A secret that could destroy her family....

A heartbreaking, emotional, and poignant drama about a family in turmoil. Fans of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty, and Linda Green - this is for you.

Amazing such a brilliant book.

Well, this book made me incredibly sad, Happy, scared.. So many emotions. Truly surprised at the end. So many people effected by a partner or family member abducting a child or children. Such a taboo subject bought out in the open. Very well done. Narrated brilliantly too.

EVERYONE MUST READ THIS BOOK

Oh wow! From storyline to narration this book popped! I literally couldn’t stop reading it. No spoilers, but I’d guessed one of the twists but didn’t see the other one coming. My heart broke for both mum and boy. I loved her second husband and thought she deserved a happy ending. WOW! That was good and like all good things I genuinely didn’t want it to end. Thank you Nicole, another TRIUMPHANT!
