Your daughter went missing twenty years ago. Now, she's finally back. You thought she had returned a few times in the past, and your husband tells you she's not the one, but you feel it in your bones. Now, what will you do to keep her home? Twenty years ago, Myra Barkley's daughter disappeared from the rocky beach across from the family inn, off the Oregon coast. Ever since, Myra has waited at the front desk for her child to come home. One rainy afternoon, the miracle happens--her missing daughter, now twenty-eight years old with a child of her own, walks in the door. Elizabeth Lark is on the run with her son. She's just killed her abusive husband and needs a place to hide. Against her better judgment, she heads to her hometown and stops at the Barkley Inn. When the innkeeper insists that Elizabeth is her long lost daughter, the opportunity for a new life, and more importantly, the safety of her child, is too much for Elizabeth to pass up. But she knows that she isn't the Barkleys's daughter, and the more deeply intertwined she becomes with the family, the harder it becomes to confess the truth. Except the Barkley girl didn't just disappear on her own. As the news spreads across the small town that the Barkley girl has returned, Elizabeth suddenly comes into the limelight in a dangerous way, and the culprit behind the disappearance those twenty years ago is back to finish the job.

This one is more of a family drama with some thriller aspects, and I wasn‘t thrilled with some of the writing as times. It didn‘t keep me engulfed enough like a thriller would, but it still had a decent premise and twists.

This one should be popular with those suspense-thriller-mystery lovers out there, and I know there are lots of you! And it should especially appeal to fans of female leads as well as moody settings.

This is a pretty crazy and unpredictable family drama/thriller! Told in third-person present tense from multiple perspectives, it‘s fast-paced and hard to put down! The titular character escapes from an abusive and isolated existence only to find herself identified as the adult who went missing as a child twenty years earlier! As the pieces fall into place, the structure of the book itself makes this story more chaotic than it needs to be though!

DogEaredBooks I love that calendar. ❤️ yes for all the animals in people clothes 3y
TorieStorieS @DogEaredBooks Thanks! I love it, too! It‘s been an annual purchase from berkleyillustration on Etsy for the past few years! 3y
DogEaredBooks @TorieStorieS as it should be! I really want some of those prints now. Thanks for sharing! 3y
TorieStorieS @DogEaredBooks I haven‘t (yet) bought any prints but I can speak to the quality of the cards- and the calendar! Plus, they usually throw in a little thank you- like a sticker or a postcard! 3y
DogEaredBooks @TorieStorieS oh I love that! One of the (many) perks from buying from artists on Etsy! ❤️ 3y
