I was a little disappointed in this book. I was excited by the premise but the ending was so unrealistic and anticlimatic that it ruined it for me. Writing was reasonable, it wasn't as suspenseful as I hoped and the "almost" caught moments were nowhere near as nailbiting as I would have liked. Both characters were well written but there were a lot of unfinished secondary character questions left unanswered for me. Don't get me wrong, I did like the book. I definitely wanted to keep reading and will probably read it again, but a little more suspense would have been nice.

When you see a child who has clearly been neglected, abused, what do you do? For Sarah Walker, the answer is clear. You save the child – by kidnapping her. Emma led a miserable life with her mother, so when Sarah took her from a crowded airport, she wasn’t sure if she should be terrified – or relieved. Amy Townsend is Emma’s mother and she knows she’s let her daughter, and herself down. As Emma and Sarah get closer, the search for their whereabouts becomes a nationwide search. And the more time goes on, the less Emma want to return home. And the less sure Amy is that she wants her little girl back at all. This is an amazing story about motherhood, and what makes a mother a mother, and what constitutes not only a family but what is right and what is wrong
