Publisher's summary
Eleven-year-old Lauren O'Neil vanished one sunny afternoon as she walked home from school. Six years later, her parents Rachel and Dan still tirelessly scour their Oregon hometown and beyond, always believing Lauren will be found. Then one day, the call comes.
Lauren has been rescued from a secluded farm mere miles away, and her abductor has confessed. Yet her return is nothing like Rachel imagined. Though the revelations about what Lauren endured are shocking, most heartbreaking of all is to see the bright-eyed, assertive daughter she knew transformed into a wary, polite stranger.
Lauren's first instinct is to flee. For years she's been told her parents forgot her; now she doubts the pieces of her life can ever fit together again. But Rachel refuses to lose her a second time. Little by little they must relearn what it means to be a family, trusting that their bond is strong enough to guide them back to each other.
Intensely moving and absorbing, this is an extraordinary story told with sensitivity and grace, and filled with the depth and breadth of a mother's love.

Story
For 14-year-old Wallis Ann Stamper and her family, life in the Appalachian Mountains is simple and satisfying, though not for the tenderhearted. While her older sister, Laci - a mute, musically gifted savant - is constantly watched over and protected, Wallis Ann is as practical and sturdy as her name. When the Tuckasegee River bursts its banks, forcing them to flee in the middle of the night, those qualities save her life. But though her family is eventually reunited, the tragedy opens Wallis Ann's eyes to a world beyond the creek that's borne their name for generations.

Good but predictable
I liked the story. It was different because the focus was not on the kidnapping but what happens when the victim is reunited with her family and the struggles they go through. The ending was pretty predictable but it is worth the read.

Overly optimistic
Grade: C+
Lauren is kidnapped walking home from school. Six years later, she's found. Lauren and her family have to adjust to the trauma she endured and find their way back to each other.
With shades of Jaycee Dugard and Michelle Knight AND THEN SHE WAS GONE is an overly optimistic look at family reunification after survivors return home. Rosalind Noonan put almost no conflict into this novel, everything seems impossible, then characters adjust to new challenges. Noonan does a good job giving characters realistic voices. While the plot had holes, had too many convenient coincidences and wrapped up much faster than would happen in real life, the story is interesting and I enjoyed Noonan's writing. Recovering from PTSD and the psychological damage Lauren endured, the social skills she magically had would take years, not months to accomplish. I can't get more specific about holes and conveniences because there is so little tension in this novel I don't want to kill that for you. My favorite characters were younger sister Sierra and social worker, Paula. My least favorite was Rachel, the mother.
AND THEN SHE WAS GONE is an easy read. Although the content of the kidnapping and abuse are heavy, Noonan never goes into much detail. A tepid recommendation for the right audience. I sent a friend the e-book, because she's into horses, if not for that aspect, I wouldn't have.

A story of a womans return.
This story was so good. It was similar to the style of Chevy Stevens in the fact that the victim gains her strength and takes back her life.

Just awful
Seriously. I couldn't wait for the pain of listening to this to be over. It was predictable at every turn. The characters had no depth. Absolutely impossible to enjoy. Save your money on this one.

Predictable, psychological textbook in novel form
What disappointed you about And Then She Was Gone?
It started out compulsively readable, but it went into such detail about therapy sessions that it felt like I was reading a psychological case history.
Have you listened to any of Erin Bennett’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I haven't, but I liked her performance immensely.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I did like some of the complexities of the post-abduction unification ...
Any additional comments?
I wanted to like this, but it was just all cliched dialogue. I feel like I know where this book is going, and the endless therapy sessions make me cringe with their predictability frustrate me. I find I don't even care about what happened to one of the characters, which is the emotional linchpin....
Save your time and credit.
