Eight years ago, Tess and Jake were considered a power couple of the New York publishing world--happy, in love, planning a family. Failed fertility treatments and a heartbreaking attempt at adoption have fractured their marriage and left Tess edgy and adrift. A visit to friends in rural Vermont throws Tess's world into further chaos when she sees a young, half-dressed child in the middle of the road, who then runs into the woods like a frightened deer. The entire town begins searching for the little girl. But there are no sightings, no other witnesses, no reports of missing children. As local police and Jake point out, Tess's imagination has played her false before. And yet Tess is compelled to keep looking, not only to save the little girl she can't forget but to salvage her broken heart as well.

I picked this up on a whim (it was on sale at Target, and I was in the mood for a new book) based on the synopsis on the inside cover. I am so glad I did. When I got to about the 4th or 5th page I was totally sucked in to the story. The writing is a little “flowery” and overly verbose at times, and the flashback portions started to get annoying after a while, but the actual current storyline is fantastic. It was one of those “un-put-downable” type of books. I highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys a good mystery or thriller.
