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.

Good story until the end

The narrators chosen for this book were all wrong. I don’t know how to explain it other than their accents are annoying. The plot seemed good and I was interested to see what happened next. Then the last 30 minutes of the book happened and I was so mad for wasting so much time on it. The ending could have been so strong but it fell flat and annoyed me. I think I need a break from this genre.

Meh

I was really underwhelmed by this story - I guess I was expecting more. It could have been better, the story had more potential.

Kate

I’m not finished listening to this, but OMG the narrator doing “Kate’s” part need to learn how to make the short e sound. It was bad enough that she keeps saying “bad” instead of “bed,” but when she said “chest” followed by “breast” using the short a sound I got strange looks for shouting “Oh my God!” It’s just too annoying.

Best book I’ve listened to yet

Wow. I LOVE THIS BOOK! I never wanted it to end. It is different than most domestic thrillers and the concept of a cult was very interesting to me. I did not see the twist coming at the end, either! I have recommended this book for friends who also were left speechless. The performance was great and the writing and dialogue really blew me away. Do yourself a favor and listen to this book!!!

fizzed out at the end

captured my attention from the first word. I loved the different characters and their stories. however the end came and i was disappointed there wasnt more. it just kinda ended. it wasnt as shocking as i was hoping, and was just all the sudden over. however, worth the listen. the narrators were outstanding.

Interesting plot

This was a good story. Many times I know the ending early on in a book and just have to listen to how the author gets there but not with this book. Sad story in so many ways but well told
