And Then She Was GoneWhen an abducted daughter is finally returned to her parents, a new struggle begins in the New York Times–bestselling author’s “gripping family story” (Booklist). Six years ago, eleven-year-old Lauren O’Neil vanished as she walked home from school. Her parents Rachel and Dan still scour their Oregon hometown, hoping against hope that their daughter is still alive. But when Lauren is finally rescued from a secluded farm, her return is nothing like Rachel imagined. The revelations of what Lauren endured are shocking. But most heartbreaking of all is that Rachel’s bright-eyed, assertive daughter has become a stranger. After years of being told that her parents forgot her, Lauren is wary and distant. But Rachel refuses to lose her a second time. Little by little they must relearn what it means to be a family, trusting that their bond is strong enough to guide them back to each other. |
