Product Overview

A compelling family mystery that kept me turning the pages. Highly recommended.Margaret Maron, New York Times bestselling author of Three Day Town

Dear Tommie: Have you ever wondered about who you are?

The letter that turns Tommie McClouds world upside down arrives from a stranger only days after her fathers death. The woman who wrote it claims that Tommie is her daughterand that she was kidnapped as a baby thirty-one years ago.

Tommie wants to believe its all a hoax, but suddenly a girl who grew up on a Texas ranch finds herself linked to a horrific past: the slaughter of a family in Chicago, the murder of an Oklahoma beauty queen, and the kidnapping of a little girl named Adriana. Tommie races along a twisting, nightmarish path while an unseen stalker is determined to keep old secrets locked inside the dementia-battered brain of the woman who Tommie always thought was her real mother. With everything she has ever believed in question, and no one she can trust, Tommie must discover the truth about the girl who vanishedand the very real threats that still remain.

[Julia Heaberlins] voice is pitch perfect, and her story of one womans fierce struggle to reconcile her past with her present is gripping and powerful. An outstanding debut.Carla Buckley, author of Invisible
