Emmy Rane is married at nineteen, a mother by twenty. Trapped in a life with a husband she no longer loves, Baby is her only joy. Then one sunny day in September, Emmy takes a few fateful steps away from her baby and returns to find her missing. All that is left behind is a yellow sock.

Fourteen years later, Sophie, a homeschooled, reclusive teenage girl is forced to move frequently and abruptly from place to place, perpetually running from what her mother calls the "No Good." One afternoon, Sophie breaks the rules, ventures out, and meets Joey and his two aunts. It is this loving family that gives Sophie the courage to look into her past. What she discovers changes her world forever. . . .

The riveting stories of Emmy and Sophie—alternating narratives of loss, imprisonment, and freedom regained—escalate with breathless suspense toward an unforgettable climax.


     To be honest I really had to force myself to finish reading this. I kept on going only because I really wanted to read about the reunion…there was no such reunion.[Image of unhappiness]  Being unable to read  through the whole happy ending really did me in with this book. At the end of the day I gave this book 1 star. Mostly because I wish that I could bear to burn it; instead I'm gonna give it to a used bookstore. This book gets 1 star from me because I gritted my teeth to get through it, only to regret the effort. In honesty I feel like it was a great waste of time I could have used to read a better book.  In addition I feel like it is a great story that I could have enjoyed if only it had been written differently. The language and writing style really didn’t appeal to me all that much which as any reader knows can really take away from a story. Reading this was like brushing away sand looking for hermit crabs but less fun. I can’t really pinpoint a reason however I was really unable to connect to or really enjoy any of the characters. Overall, I will never read this book again and I don’t even like talking about it...so no more. I am done with this
