Grace Is Gone

Everyone in Ashford Cornwall knows Meg Nichols and her daughter Grace. Meg has been selflessly caring for Grace for years and Grace--smiling and optimistic in spite of her many illnesses--adores her mother. So when Meg is found brutally bludgeoned in her bed and her daughter missing the community is rocked. Meg had lived in terror of her abusive unstable ex convinced that he would return to try and kidnap Grace as he had once before. Now it appears her fear was justified. Jon Katrin a local journalist knows he should avoid getting drawn back into this story. The article he wrote about Meg and Grace caused rifts within his marriage and the town. Perhaps if he can help find Grace he can atone for previous lapses in judgment. The Nichols' neighbor Cara--contending with her own guilt over not being a better friend to Grace--becomes an unexpected ally. But in searching for Grace Jon and Cara uncover anomalies that lead to more and more questions. Through multiple viewpoints and diary entries the truth about Grace emerges revealing a tragedy more twisted than anyone could have ever imagined--Page 4 of cover.
