Helpful Score: 11

I had high hopes for this book but all of them were dashed. There is so much that is wrong with this book though the premise is not one of them. On the surface, a story about a 12-year old girl who disappears without a trace only to return four years later is one that is full of promise. Unfortunately, every promise made in this book is broken, thrown to the ground and trampled on. Why make a huge point of the girl lying to the father early on when it means absolutely nothing? Why would the police arrest a man who abducted and abused a girl for four years and let him go within 24 hours? Why would a woman condemn her brother-in-law for lying on one page only to run to his defense three pages later? And why on earth would any father agree to return his sixteen year old daughter to the man who abducted her??? There is not one sympathetic character in this book and not one who can be trusted. What a waste of time. Ugh.
