Before Owen Michaels disappears, he manages to smuggle a note to his beloved wife of one year: Protect her. Despite her confusion and fear, Hannah Hall knows exactly to whom the note refers: Owen’s sixteen-year-old daughter, Bailey. Bailey, who lost her mother tragically as a child. Bailey, who wants absolutely nothing to do with her new stepmother.
As Hannah’s increasingly desperate calls to Owen go unanswered; as the FBI arrests Owen’s boss; as a US Marshal and FBI agents arrive at her Sausalito home unannounced, Hannah quickly realizes her husband isn’t who he said he was. And that Bailey just may hold the key to figuring out Owen’s true identity—and why he really disappeared.
I LOVED this book. I went into it blind and it was nothing at all what I expected. It was SO much more. I listened to it on Audible and the narration was wonderful. I loved how much the adults loved Bailey. How they accepted her exactly as she was. Owen’s love was sacrificial and all-encompassing and heartbreaking and just beautiful. But I really loved Hannah’s love for Bailey. A stepmother’s love can be complicated but man…I love the way she loved Bailey without expectations or conditions. Without terms, ifs, ands, or buts. She loved her more than she loved herself. And that’s rare. I don’t want to say much because I want you all to experience it the way I did…so I’ll just say this. Read it. It’s the best book I’ve read recently. 5 stars. Stephanie rated it: 5.0 from 5.0
I was lucky enough to be an early reader of this book. Get ready for a fabulous exploration of motherhood, loyalty and love, all packed in a tense thriller. Bravo! Allison rated it: 5.0 from 5.0
I did not expect this book to be this good. I read it in one sitting was done with it before I know it. The mystery was a good one it was a fast paced read and one that you will be happy you read. Mary Jackson _TheMaryReader rated it: 5.0 from 5.0
