A missing child sets the lives of three women on a collision course in this powerful and compelling novel by USA Today bestselling author Bette Lee Crosby. 1971. When a music festival rolls through the sleepy town of Hesterville, Georgia, the Dixon family's lives are forever changed. On the final night, a storm muffles the sound of the blaring music, and Rachel tucks her baby into bed before falling into a deep sleep. So deep, she doesn't hear the kitchen door opening. When she and her husband wake up in the morning, the crib is empty. Emily is gone. Vicki Robart is one of the thousands at the festival, but she's not feeling the music. She's feeling the emptiness over the loss of her own baby several months before. When she leaves the festival and is faced with an opportunity to fill that void, she is driven to an act of desperation that will forever bind the lives of three women. When the truth of what actually happened that fateful night is finally exposed, shattering the lives they've built, will they be able to pick up the pieces to put their families back together again?

Be prepared for raw emotions…A baby is stolen from its crib in the middle of the night. The parents are devastated. Grief-stricken. But I felt compassion for the woman who raises the baby. How can that be? This beautifully written book will break your heart, but it is equally heartwarming. I found myself with conflicting emotions throughout the book.

I loved this book even though it left me feeling like my heart had been wrung out.

Ok. Hard topic to read if you are a mom. Drags a bit. Okay overall.

A music festival and a kidnapping.

EMILY GONE has tender moments, sad moments, happy moments, and many moments that need tissues.

I didn't want to put this heartwarming book filled with Bette Lee Crosby's signature warmth down.

Her books feel like a big hug. 5/5

FULL REVIEW APRIL 29.

A music festival shook the quiet town of Hesterville, Georgia, with its loud music and with the kidnapping of Rachel and George Dixon's baby.

Ms. Crosby has outdone herself with EMILY GONE as she paired her amazing writing, her amazing characters, and her heartfelt story lines with a new twist - a mystery.

I didn't want to put this heartwarming book filled with Bette Lee Crosby's signature warmth down. 5/5
