Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

When twenty-something drifter Miranda Cassidy wrecks her car one night on the way home from a bar, she seizes the accident as an opportunity to reinvent her life. Hitching a ride with a mysterious stranger, she finds quick work and a fresh start hundreds of miles away in an ocean-side vacation town, and she doesn't look back. Besides, she figures, who is going to miss her?

But when her frantic mother finds no forwarding address, she senses

something terrible has happened. Past secrets come crashing back. The

memory of the tragic disappearance of Miranda's father years before and the force of long-buried emotions drive her on a frantic quest to find her daughter, no matter what the cost.

As she did in her darkly thrilling debut, the cult favorite Josie and Jack, Braffet explores the often ambiguous nature of love and danger in a page-turner that will have readers riveted until the final twist.
