Nancy Harmon has fled the heartbreak of her first marriage, the macabre deaths of her two little children, the hostile front-page newspaper stories and the shocking charges against her. She has changed her name, dyed her hair and moved house. Now, enjoying a new life with a wonderful husband and two beautiful children, Nancy feels she can at last forget her tragic history and start believing in second chances… Until the morning she looks outside for her little boy and girl, finds only one red mitten and knows the nightmare is beginning again…

    " I did and didn't like it at the same time. It was a page turner- I kept wondering what would happen next. However, I found Nancy to be pretty pathetic and I predicted who was behind the children's disappearance fairly early. The child molestation angle made me feel creepy and uncomfortable. Not sure I would recommend it, but I am not bummed that I took the time to read it. "
