Description
There are some things you can't leave behind…
In If You Find Me by Emily Murdoch, a broken-down camper hidden deep in a national forest is the only home fifteen year-old Carey can remember. The trees keep guard over her threadbare existence, with the one bright spot being Carey's younger sister, Jenessa, who depends on Carey for her very survival. All they have is each other, as their mentally ill mother comes and goes with greater frequency. Until that one fateful day their mother disappears for good, and two strangers arrive. Suddenly, the girls are taken from the woods and thrust into a bright and perplexing new world of high school, clothes and boys.
Now, Carey must face the truth of why her mother abducted her ten years ago, while haunted by a past that won't let her go…a dark past that hides many a secret, including the reason Jenessa hasn't spoken a word in over a year. Carey knows she must keep her sister close, and her secrets even closer, or risk watching her new life come crashing down.
Advance Praise
“Within two pages, I was so hopelessly hooked, I felt like the story had
attached itself to me . . . original and suspenseful, but most of all, it was
Carey’s voice that had me flipping the pages . . . one of those books you
devour.” —Jennifer Brown, author of Hate List
"Grabbed me by the
heart on page one and didn't let go till the very last word. Murdoch's language
is lovely, her storytelling gripping.” —Carol Lynch Williams, author of The
Chosen One
“Searing . . . hurt my heart and will probably haunt
my dreams—a beautiful book about survival, identity, family, love and so much
more.” —Jenny Downham, author of Before I Die and You Against
Me
