Rhonda, the main character, opens the story with an abduction where she stands idly by and watches it unfold while doing nothing to stop it. As the story goes on you see that Rhonda is confronting adulthood while seeming to have one foot in the freedom of childhood. The bonds of relationships she has in her past are strong, idylic and tragically beautiful. She seems to want to move on in her future but the abduction forces her to look at her past and solve things that have been left alone. These things which have been left alone, some have been forgotten and pushed to the furthest corner of her mind while others are vivid memores begging for answers.
Jennifer McMahon weaves you in and out of the past in search of an answer for the abduction. You begin to see more and more that what happened in the past begins to be more and more important to solving the abdution as well as the protagonists inabiliity to act on issues in her future.
Its an interesting story. It was hard for me to get into the book initially. There is a bit of fantasy imgination accuring here and there and it was hard for me to understand how it pertained to the story. I am not sure I entirely understood even now, but that aside Jennifer McMahon was true to her style of building suspense that had me guessing repeatedly "whodunnit?" I really find it amazing that a book can actually leave you in the dark for so long and even side swipe your belief in the end. It seems suspence is a lost art these days, however this author should keep on keeping on at what she does best which is a good story laced with suspence. I am hooked.
