A gripping new time travel mystery—Book Three of the Before series.

In Book Two (Before She Was Taken), Rebecca Danser went back in time to seek her younger sister, who disappeared when they were children.

Still troubled by the growing sense that she should be using her unique ability to save others who have gone missing, Rebecca becomes obsessed by the case of an African-American boy who vanished one year ago.

"Mystery fans will love this plot device, which takes a straightforward whodunit to an otherworldly level." (The BookLife Prize)

Frustrated that police and media have made little effort to find 13-year-old Ethan Pitt or publicize his disappearance, she jumps back in time to discover what really happened. Though she struggles to trace his movements, her motivation increases the more she learns about this bright, resourceful child, forced to grow up fast after his widowed mother lost her job and became injured in a car crash.

“I loved this new tale in the Before series.” (Bookshelf Adventures)

Rebecca places her past and present lives at great risk as she narrows down the suspects and infiltrates the lair of the ruthless manipulator most likely responsible for Ethan's vanishing.
