Emily, Gone by Bette Lee Crosby
5.0
This book had come so highly recommended that I moved it up on my TBR pile. It didn't disappoint, and I can see why many feel this book should be made into a movie.
Any parent would relate to the horror of waking up to find your infant gone from their crib!
That, in itself, cemented my intense interest in what happened, how the family will ever be able to move forward, and how the story will end.
The author doesn't tie up the story in a short time, the story covers several years and weaves in backstory as to why people act the way they do. And, she doesn't take the easy way out in "solving" the mystery. It's a wonderful, heartfelt, heartbreaking, and heartwarming story!
