          <body><![CDATA[This is a well told story about families and the tensions within. It centers around the apparent abduction of two young girls in a small midwestern town. Each chapter advances the story through the voice of one of the main characters, which is a storytelling technique I really enjoy. ]]></body>

Plus, while it was interesting enough to hold my attention, it was still easy to put it down...an important feature of a vacation read. ]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[I read this book on a flight from Baltimore to Wisconsin and for the first 3/4 of the story, it was a perfect book to read while traveling. Then, a really unexpected twist had me crying for the last 1/4 of the book. Not a good look on the airplane. But still a pretty good story.  ]]></body>
