Description: Based on a true story, Tell Anna Shes Safe is the tale of two women, one missing, the other searching for her. Driving home alongside West Quebecs Gatineau River one April afternoon, researcher Ellen McGinn spots a parked car that looks like it might belong to her friend and colleague, Lucy Stockman. She soon finds out that Lucy has disappeared. Ellen has an unusual dream in which she receives three clear messages: she is to search and to write everything downand Lucy is safe. But is she? Ellens continuing dreams seem to indicate otherwise, and then there is the suspicious behaviour of Lucys partner, a man with a violent past that includes a manslaughter conviction. What begins as a physical search soon also becomes a determined quest for the truth beyond the stereotypical appearances of her friends risky relationship. Terrified for her own life, Ellen reaches a deeper than bargained for understanding of Lucys dark journey, and her own.
