MISSING is a set of three stories of three wars, and those who died, those who were never found, and those who returned to tell the story of those who didn’t. It reminds us that some things don’t change with time, like love between husband and wife and within family, the grace of God-- and the ugliness of war. Each story examines the difficulty of the survivors in dealing with the memory of what they have seen and done, the difficulty of their families in coping with their absence, and the diffi...more
This novel is a collection of three shorter stories, all linked by the themes of war, and faith.
I found all three of the stories to be thought-provoking and the author cleverly links the characters' dilemmas with reference to the bible, offering solace and solutions in their troubles. I personally am not a religious person, but the links between the storyline and the biblical references did not detract at all, and I found it added to the characterisation and feel of the novel.

Missing is a novel of heartbreak and healing. I enjoyed the characters - they seemed real, personable, and filled with the kind of angst people would feel when loved ones are reported missing or dead. I especially enjoyed the accuracy of Suzanne D. Williams' research into the three time periods presented in the storyline and the way she wove together the protagonists' family trees. I look forward to the author's next work, Found.
