Publisher Description

Aubrey Wallace is the kind of man no one notices. Dotty Johnson is the kind of woman no one can ignore. One afternoon, they both disappear from the small Vermont town where they live. The next day, two hundred miles away, a toddler is snatched from her Massachusetts home. For the next five years, Aubrey, Dotty, and the kidnapped child - bound together by strange love and desperate need - are trapped in a nomadic existence governed by their constant fear of discovery. Canny, the little girl, becomes Aubrey's entire existence. But Dotty wants out. She is tired of being saddled with this fearful little man. When she meets Jiggy Huller, a brutal ex-convict, the wheels of Canny's return to her natural parents are wrenched fatally into motion.

"This is the second book I've read by Mary McGarry Morris. She's a fantastic writer. I can't get over the ending to this book. The characters in this book were so believable; I couldn't put the book down for the last 50 pages."

    " This is one of Morris' lesser known books but I think it's one of her best! It might be one of the only books I have ever read several times. It's a very quick read but the story has stayed with me for years. "

    " Another deeply emotional book about people who have lost their way. It deals with the manipulative preying upon the weak and gives some insight into what might drive manipulation. "
