You think it’s never going to happen to you. I know because that’s how I was—untouchable. Bad things only happen to someone else. Or if something bad actually did happen, it was always something the doctor could fix with fiberglass or a pill.
That’s the way it was with my family—at least until the year I turned thirteen.
When their young daughter, Kristin, is kidnapped, Gary and Angie Marshall struggle to make sense of the unthinkable. Who could do such a thing? And why Kristin? As more time passes in their desperate search for their daughter, their hopes slowly dwindle. They are left with “if onlys” and a glaring uncertainty that damages their marriage and their relationships with their other children, especially their oldest daughter, Meghan.
Meanwhile, Kristin is having new experiences of her own. Her first assignment in her new “life” is to heal the hearts of her family. But doing so turns out to be more of a challenge than she ever expected. How can she get them to let her go so they can all find happiness? Or can there ever be healing after such a devastating trial?
Looming above them all is the question—who is responsible for Kristin’s disappearance? Is it their beloved uncle? Their neighbor Dale Loveridge, who once dated Angie Marshall? Or is it Jay, the young man with a colorful past? Or perhaps someone else entirely?
Time is running out. As she blames herself for Kristin’s disappearance, Meghan turns down a road that can only lead to more unhappiness. Kristin must find a way to help her sister find healing—and perhaps love.
Rachel Ann Nunes has taken a difficult subject and woven intrigue, romance, and joy to create a story with realistic characters who will live in your mind for years to come.
Reviews-
Through the story of a kidnapping, Nunes opens the reader's eyes to another world. I felt that this book was well-written and takes a very sensitive look into what heaven may be like. If it is half as good as Nunes portrays it, I look forward to the life after this that awaits each and every one of us. I loved the mystery of the book. It had me hooked after the first chapter. Each chapter left me craving more. I found myself crying along with Kristin and reaching out with her to help her family heal. This is a book that all teens and mothers of teens should read.
What an amazing book! What great suspense and tenderness all rolled up into a compelling read.

I was a bit apprehensive to read this story written about the sadness that is part of the dark world of kidnapping. But with the way the story was written I felt compelled to read until the ending which I had hoped would bring comfort with such a hard subject. The ending was worth the whole reading experience. This story line also reminds us parents to remind our children of the real dangers out there beyond the safety of home even when they become blinded by anger and life just not going their way. I hope that with this story many will also become aware of life's joys and how important family and friends can be.
