This book is about a woman who searches for her fiancee's daughter after she disappears on a beach in San Francisco. Emma was in her care and Abby looked away and when she looked back Emma was gone.

This book was such a great story about a woman losing her fiance's daughter and they year she spent looking for her. All the struggles and pain that people go through when a child is kidnapped. Great writing for a great story. The ending seemed weird but actually fit the story very well. Glad I just happened to find the book and read it.

Quite an introspective read. Somewhat "stream of consciousness." I liked the writing style and loved the memory anecdotes and quotes interspersed throughout. A very, very sad story although undoubtedly realistic.
Can't wait to read Ms. Redmond's next novel! ...more
