Publisher's summary
Where is he? Where’s my beloved child with his father’s blue eyes and a halo of golden curls? My little boy is out there on his own. Please keep him safe, I silently beg. Please, please just keep him safe.
"Your son is missing," they say, and life as I know it is over. "Where would he go?" the police ask. "Where would he be?" my daughter begs.
My heart races as images flash in my mind. The cabin we rent every autumn, surrounded by fiery-red maple trees. Voices raised. Tears falling. A marriage falling apart. And worst of all my husband telling our child, Theo, to run.
The rest is a blank in my memory. If I close my eyes I can almost see it. A betrayal that has left me alone, in tatters, grieving for what we had.
It wasn’t meant to be like that. It should have been precious time as a family, with board games, walks in the mountain, and pancakes for breakfast.
Instead my little one is has vanished. "They are looking for him," the nurse told me, "but the storm is slowing down the search."
The police think Theo has the answers, that he knows what tore our family apart. But I have no idea where he is. No clue if he is safe. And that’s the most terrifying thing of all....
A completely gripping, beautifully written, and totally heartbreaking pause-resister, which examines what happens behind closed doors, and the secrets that can shatter a family. Fans of Jodi Picoult, Diane Chamberlain, and Liane Moriarty will be totally addicted to this breathtaking novel.

An ivy-covered front gate and the scent of honeysuckle in the air. In the yard, two scooters lie on the grass. One blue, one pink, belonging to five-year-old twins.

Story
They find her just as the sun is beginning to rise in the early morning mist. They had begun at dawn, the group of searchers keen to get going. A missing child spurred everyone on. In the end, it was a flash of color, a bright neon pink that caught her eye. They had been looking for pink. Nothing tests your faith like being a mother. The first time your children walk to school alone, their first sleepover, when they finally fly the nest. As a parent, you have to believe that everything will be ok.

The factory where she works begins to lay off people and it isn't long before she has fallen into the hands of the violent local money-lender.

Story
When a young man is found gruesomely murdered in a London houseboat, it triggers questions about three women who knew him. Laura is the troubled one-night-stand last seen in the victim’s home. Carla is his grief-stricken aunt, already mourning the recent death of yet another family member. And Miriam is the nosy neighbor clearly keeping secrets from the police. Three women with separate connections to the victim. Three women who are – for different reasons – simmering with resentment. Who are, whether they know it or not, burning to right the wrongs done to them.

Story
If you passed Alice on the street, you couldn’t help but smile. At how she holds hands with her husband, Jack, who she has been with since she was at university. At the way she admires her three boys, the center of her universe. But if you looked very closely, you’d see how tightly she holds Jack’s hand, afraid to let go. You’d see how carefully she watches her boys, scared to look away. She has told Jack that she ran away from home when she was younger - but she didn’t tell him the whole story.

I really enjoyed this story a lot!
This was an amazing story! It wasn't the type of book I normally like but this kept me guessing, suspecting, and awaiting the story to tell it's self. It was a wonderful read/listen.

Hit Or Miss
Nicole Trope's books have been kinda hit or miss for me. I've found some that I liked, and some that just didn't do it for me. This one (as well as the phone she previews at the end -- The Boy In The Photo -- ironically) didn't do it for me. I found it not so much "emotional" or "gripping" or "unputdownable" as annoying. The only thing that made it "unputdownable" was dogged determination to finish the darn thing, and the only thing "emotional" about it was when it just wouldn't end. Sorry.
First of all, the "revised" title is a bit misleading. I had to check the book description to make sure I was reading the right book. It's not so much about a woman who "kissed her son good night and woke up to find him missing" as the subtitle suggests. It's about a broken family that is barely holding on by a thread, a mysterious tragedy occurs that leaves Mom with selective silence, Dad in critical condition, and caused 11 Year Old autistic son to run for help into the woods, where he *happens* to meet the one other person in the area who not only *happens* to have an autistic brother who *happened* to behave exactly like this kid, but then they both just so *happen* to get rescued in the woods on a rainy night by the woman’s own nephew. I believe in God and miracles, but I was annoyed by how convenient this all was in a literary sense.
There is a twist, I'll give it that, but I found it more annoying than shocking. Even so, I had it mostly figured out with 4.5 hours left on the clock. With 2 hours remaining, they dropped "the twist" and mostly confirmed my guess. And then it just kept going. By the end, I no longer had any emotional attachment to anyone. I just wanted it to be over so I could move on.
I am willing to try Nicole Trope's books because of the when that I've enjoyed, but sadly this fell short of the mark for me.

Boring
Normally I enjoy this author but this storyline bored me to tears. The narrator was good as usual but she can't make up for a bad plot.
