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?

Emily, Gone is my last book of 2022 and another top favorite. Oh man, what a journey this was. I am a momma and a Nana. This had my feels all OVER the place.
Bette Lee Crosby is a newer author for me and I have absolutely loved every book I've read by her so far. I am working my way thru her backlist and couldn't be more excited.
Her stories are so full of heart, and just so packed full of emotions that I get wrapped up and lost while I'm reading. I had to stop a few times while reading this as I was tearing up so much I couldn't see. Couldn't be more of a perfect way to end the year...with love, hope and family.
I sincerely appreciate the author for providing a review copy. All opinions expressed are my own.
