description: 'Mitchard's novel... possesses a whitewater momentum nearly as dynamic as its emotional pull... beautifully timed, wrenchingly told...' - BOSTON GLOBE 'Riveting' - DETROIT FREE PRESS 'A blockbuster read... A universal tale of traumatic loss and its effects on individuals and families, an astute inquiry into the wellsprings of identity and a parable of redemption through suffering and love... Impossible to put down.' - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY It's the moment every mother dreads - three-year-old Ben is gone, and no one can find him. Despite a police search that will turn into a nation-wide obsession, Ben has vanished, seemingly without a trace. His disappearance will leave Beth frozen on a knife-edge of suppressed agony for nine years and drive a shattering wedge through her marriage to Pat. Then something so unexpected happens, it changes everything that once seemed true or possible. And perhaps, only perhaps, it will give Beth what she thought was gone a reason to live.
