Beschreibung
A community is still in shock by headlines of a missing child last seen at a local park. When a short time later in a nearby town another child disappears from a public place, the police do everything possible to try to find a correlation.
An active, working mother, who is partnered by an equally busy executive husband, and an innocent little girl were once a happy family of three. The couple, suddenly launched into every parent's worst nightmare, must face the tragedy, along with the challenges of suspicion, mistrust, and judgmentalism that the high-profile case brings along with it. The devastating loss of their only child bisects directly to the core of the marriage, and they are forced to discover tiny cracks that had been re-glazed over time—gaps large enough for some opportunistic people who are willing to embed themselves conveniently into the crevasses.
Jeffrey and Teresa Hamilton struggle, together and separately, with the overwhelming feelings of guilt and helplessness when not being able to bring their daughter home. It seems impossible to move forward, yet they have to, and in the most unfavorable way—in the public eye.
Spinning in the space of social media obsessed days with possibilities that not-so-innocent bystanders, and random viewers at home, are capable of adding life-changing obstacles to the case, the couple must find a way to persevere and to keep their faith through what they think is the darkest hour possible. That is until discoveries made in similar cases allow a whole new level of darkness to reveal itself. Emotions run high as the sick truth unfolds, changing everything, and tainting every thought of finding good in anyone.
Even if any children are found alive, in the aftermath of lies and accusations, everyone knows that there may not be any way for the relationships to survive. Is it possible that in addition to losing her daughter, Resa stands to lose everything—her husband, her faith, her mother, her friends, and even herself?
