PAST

Eleven years ago, Shelby Tybow, Meredith Dicky and her six-year-old daughter Delilah just vanished!

Late one night after putting her daughter to bed, Shelby Tybow goes for a run, or at least that is what she tells her husband. Despite her husband’s warning, “when people do dumb shit like this, they always wind up dead” and the late hour she goes! But with her husband working and her at home during the day taking care of their baby, this is the only time she can get out and meet up with the other man! She knows her husband is having an affair. How else would lipstick get on his collar! But she never makes it to the meeting spot! Was it her husband? Did he know about the affair? Or was it someone else?

As a mother, wife, doula and yoga instructor, Meredith Dicky lives a busy but happy life! That is, until everything goes horribly wrong. She has a secret! When the secrets add up, she knows she needs to tell her husband, but how do you tell someone you love something that may change the way they think about you? Before she can figure out the how, where, and when, she and Delilah are gone!

PRESENT

For the first time in 11 years, Delilah is free! She has finally escaped from the dark, wet, cold and smelly basement her captors have kept her in! She doesn’t remember much of her life before the basement, but she remembers her father’s face. But can she trust her own memories or what the kidnappers told her?

Is Shelby, Meredith and Delilah’s disappearances connected?

Well, you’ll just have to read the book to find out!

Have you ever put together a puzzle? You try to put the border together first, but as you go, sometimes you find pieces that go together for a part in the middle, so you put them together and go back to the border. As you go along, you get the complete picture of what the puzzle will be and where all the pieces link.

That's what this book was like: you get some foundation, then some odd and end pieces, then a few twists and then, just like flicking a light switch, it all falls into place! It's told from 3 different POV’s and with the way the timeline moves around the pace changes with it so it has a little bit of the slow burn and the fast paced! It's complex and full of twists and turns! Happy reading everyone!
