Eleven-year-old Lauren O'Neil vanished one sunny afternoon as she walked home from school. Six years later, her parents Rachel and Dan still tirelessly scour their Oregon hometown and beyond, always believing Lauren will be found. Then one day, the call comes. Lauren has been rescued from a secluded farm mere miles away, and her abductor has confessed. Yet her return is nothing like Rachel imagined. Though the revelations about what Lauren endured are shocking, most heartbreaking of all is to see the bright-eyed, assertive daughter she knew transformed into a wary, polite stranger. Lauren's first instinct is to flee. For years she's been told her parents forgot her; now she doubts the pieces of her life can ever fit together again. But Rachel refuses to lose her a second time. Little by little they must relearn what it means to be a family, trusting that their bond is strong enough to guide them back to each other.

Not a fan of this story at all, I didn't even finish the book. There was just no way to believe in this story line, how could a girl who was 11 when abducted just completely forget about her family in six years. I understand there's a whole psychological issue and that was addressed but it just never explained itself enough to fully vest in the mind set these characters were going through. I felt I had read this exact story before, I didn't feel this spin on this genre was unique enough to keep me interested.
