Publisher's Summary

One woman’s reappearance throws her family into turmoil, exposing dark secrets and the hidden, often devastating truth of family relationships.

Kate Bennett vanished from a parking lot eleven years ago, leaving behind her husband and young daughter. When she shows up at a Montana gas station, clutching an infant and screaming for help, investigators believe she may have been abducted by a cult.

Kate’s return flips her family’s world upside down—her husband is remarried, and her daughter barely remembers her. Kate herself doesn’t look or act like she did before.

While the family tries to help Kate reintegrate into society, they discover truths they’ve been hiding from each other about their own relationships. But they aren’t the only ones with secrets. As the family unravels what happened to Kate, a series of shocking revelations shows that Kate’s return is more sinister than any of them could have imagined.

Obvious plot twist. Abrupt ending. Stupid chars

SPOILERS
Characters behaved very stupidly. The plot twist was obvious from a mile away. Highly unlikable characters. I also felt this book, and particularly Kate's POV ended very abruptly. Why would Kate go through all the trouble of telling her story about trying to get away to protect her child and then just end up trying to go back with BOTH children? Why did her story just end with her running away? What happened to that other woman's baby?

The acting for Abby was horrific. I know people who have physically read the book and found Abby to be the only likable character. I couldn't stand her and I think it's because of the acting. Everything line she read was melodramatic and made me cringe.
