Ellie Mack was the perfect daughter. She was fifteen, the
youngest of three. She was beloved by her parents, friends, and teachers. She
and her boyfriend made a teenaged golden couple. She was days away from an
idyllic post-exams summer vacation, with her whole life ahead of her.
And then she was gone.
Now, her mother Laurel Mack is trying to put her life back
together. It’s been ten years since her daughter disappeared, seven years since
her marriage ended, and only months since the last clue in Ellie’s case was
unearthed. So when she meets an unexpectedly charming man in a café, no one is
more surprised than Laurel at how quickly their flirtation develops into
something deeper. Before she knows it, she’s meeting Floyd’s daughters—and his
youngest, Poppy, takes Laurel’s breath away.
Because looking at Poppy is like looking at Ellie. And now,
the unanswered questions she’s tried so hard to put to rest begin to haunt
Laurel anew. Where did Ellie go? Did she really run away from home, as the
police have long suspected, or was there a more sinister reason for her
disappearance? Who is Floyd, really? And why does his daughter remind Laurel so
viscerally of her own missing girl?
