Inhaltsangabe
She becomes aware of the silence at the other end of the line. A prickling sensation crawls up her arms. Her heart speeds up. "Found who?" she asks, slowly, carefully, deliberately.
"They found Daniel."
Six years ago
Megan waits at the school gates for her six-year-old son, Daniel. As the playground empties, panic bubbles inside her. Daniel is nowhere to be found.
According to his teacher, Daniel’s father picked up his son. Except he and Megan are no longer together. After years of being controlled by her cruel husband, Megan finally found the courage to divorce him. Hands trembling, she dials his number, but the line is dead.
Six years later
Megan is feeding her new baby daughter when she gets the call she has dreamt about for years. Daniel has walked into a police station in a remote town just a few miles away.
Megan is overjoyed - her son is finally coming home. She has kept Daniel’s room, with his Cookie Monster poster on the wall and a stack of Legos under the bed, perfect to welcome him back. But when he returns, Daniel is quieter than she remembers....
Desperate to find out what happened to her little boy and to help him heal, Megan tries everything - his favourite chocolate milkshake, a reunion with his best friend, a present for every birthday missed - but still, Daniel is distant.
And as they struggle to connect, Megan begins to suspect that her son is hiding a secret. A secret that could destroy her family....
A heartbreaking, emotional, and poignant drama about a family in turmoil. Fans of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty, and Linda Green - this is for you.

What if your long lost son becomes a nightmare?
This is the story of a mother whose son had disappeared when he was six years old and now reappears aged twelve. As the title indicates it is about the boy he once was, the boy in the photo, the child she used to love and know as opposed to the estranged teenager that comes to live with her new husband and toddler girl.
I found the development between the boy and the family members realistic and very gripping. If you are interested in the psychology of people in exceptional situations, this is a book you will love. I had read Lionel Shriver’s We need to talk about Kevin, so I expected trouble for the baby girl. And you wait for the husband to run out of patience.
Nicole Trope will surprise you in the end. You won’t see it coming and it makes perfect sense. I also much liked her style. She is an excellent narrator, better than most in the genre, I find. I will certainly read all her other books and recommend her to anyone looking for a good story with well-rounded characters, psychological depth and an original plot.
