What if the person you love most in the world was in terrible danger … because of you?
Three years ago, Toni’s five-year-old daughter Evie disappeared after leaving school. The police have never been able to find her. There were no witnesses, no CCTV, no trace.
But Toni believes her daughter is alive. And as she begins to silently piece together her memories, the full story of the past begins to reveal itself, and a devastating truth.
Toni’s mind is trapped in a world of silence, her only chance to save herself is to manage the impossible. She must find a way to make herself heard. She must find her daughter.
This story is told from multiple POV's and is split into two parts. The first part of the story is more than half the book but it was the same old story - Husband dies tragically, wife has a meltdown and becomes reliant on pills. Their young daughter struggles with the move... sketchy neighbors and of course the strange behavior from seemingly all those around her that she completely ignores etc. etc. Nothing exciting there!! The main character, Toni, was thoroughly unlikable and comes across as selfish, irresponsible and an awful mother. But the whole locked-in syndrome story-line was an interesting way to go. But you have to wait until nearly 70% for the story to pick up and become interesting but unfortunately the ending was a bit of a let down for me too.
