Publisher's Summary

"Take my hand, little one."

Fran finds her standing by the swings. A little girl, Esther, no older than seven years old, by herself in the dead of night, her pretty but old-fashioned yellow dress covered in grass stains and her hair dishevelled. She says she's waiting for Father, and that strikes Fran as particularly odd. 

After Esther is reunited with her family, Fran can't stop thinking about this pious child whose imaginary friend is God. Fran's instincts tell her something is very wrong. Why does Esther keep running away from home, and how did she get that bruise on her leg? 

Fran's husband warns her not to get too close, but one morning, Esther and her family disappear. Where did they go? Why did they leave their furniture behind? 

Fran knows in her gut that something terrible is going to happen to that child, and she can't stand by while it happens. No matter the cost. 

After all, she found her. But can she save her?

Sarah Denzil’s Story with a twist

I really enjoyed this book although I did find her usual and masterful twist a bit late in this story. Likely my eagerness to find out how everything will work out…and I was not disappointed. Great sweeping story with the famous unpredictability. Can’t wait for the next book!

Best Book Ever!!

This story is not for the faint of heart. It will grip you, have you clamoring for the next chapter and affect you long after you have listened to it. I absolutely loved it!!

Picks up more towards the end

The beginning is a tad slow in my opinion, but closer to the middle it’s a good story, that slowly takes you to where its trying to go. With what at first seems like a cliche explanation of the story’s mysteriousness …. It later takes a interesting turn, with a surprise twist, and wraps it all up nicely at the end. It’s a good listen.

DISAPPOINTING

This book was more of a memoir than a mystery. An apt title could have been "Fran's Obsession". From the begining I couldn't understand her motives, however, the end of the book explained it. All in all the whole book was too far fetched for me to believe the plot, more like a bad dream Fran was having.

Somewhat implausible

Esther as a 7 year old would not have had the maturity to behave as portrayed and it is totally unbelievable that a woman would arbitrarily uproot herself and travel to the wilds of Arizona to search for this adult woman and child I found this ultimately far fetched but will say that the narrator did an excellent job.
