It was just one night away. But now my little girl is missing.
I didn’t want to leave her. But my husband insisted that a weekend away would do me good. I’ve been feeling like someone is watching me, that things in our home aren’t where I left them. He says I need a break. My sister offered to babysit my precious Mabel. She promised me that everything would be fine.
But while we’re away, the phone call comes. Mabel has been taken.
I rush home, a horrible sick feeling flooding my stomach. I climb the stairs to her nursery to find her little cot empty, our home horribly quiet..
The police are interviewing everyone, but nobody knows what happened to Mabel. My sister is distraught, my husband in pieces. But they wanted me to leave my child. How can I trust them?
Someone wants to hurt me. To punish me. Do they know what I’ve done? And how can I find the truth, and bring my darling girl home?

Review
A new baby is such a joy, but it’s hard work too. Some woman take to motherhood like a fish to water, but for some new moms, it’s a lot harder.
Anyway, whether it all goes well or not, each couple should take time off from parenthood from time to time and a night away seems like a good idea to rekindle the connection between Amber and her husband.
Then tragedy strikes and the families world is turned upside down. Not only do they have to deal with that tragedy, but it seems like a few skeletons fall out of the closet as well. This turns some relationships sour and some that were already sour even more sour.
Will this family be divided for ever or is there still any hope left?
Some people want to settle their bills right away. Others can easily lie in waiting for the perfect moment to pounce.
It seems like some families have a well filled washing line with dirty laundry to share.
A very enjoyable story with a few surprising revelations. 5 stars
Thank you
