I constantly reached for this book

I enjoyed this book a great deal. I worried a bit that this story of a mother who does search-and-rescue but turns out to have been kidnapped by her father would be one of those tear-jerker, rip-a-mom's-heart-out stories. Not so, though. It's a story of how the people in and around the father-and-daughter *handle* the story becoming public. It's about choices and reactions, both your own (the story is told from several different characters' perspectives over the course of the book, and it's done incredibly well, I thought) and how you deal with *others'* choices and reactions.
I constantly reached for this book. Very well done.
Interesting submitted by Pooh3238 on July 25, 2018, 11:48pm This was a very thought-provoking book. A what would you do type of story. I was constantly wondering what I would do in that situation. To find something out like that so many years later would be very hard.
