A harrowing debut novel of a tragic disappearance and one sister's journey through the trauma that has shaped her life. For eleven-year-old Esme, ballet is everything--until her four-year-old sister, Lily, vanishes without a trace and nothing is certain anymore. People Esme has known her whole life suddenly become suspects, each new one hitting closer to home than the last. Unable to cope, Esme escapes the nightmare that is her new reality when she receives an invitation to join an elite ballet academy in San Francisco. Desperate to leave behind her chaotic, broken family and the mystery surrounding Lily's disappearance, Esme accepts. Eight years later, Esme is up for her big break: her first principal role in Paris. But a call from her older sister shatters the protective world she has built for herself, forcing her to revisit the tragedy she's run from for so long. Will her family finally have the answers they've been waiting for? And can Esme confront the pain that shaped her childhood, or will the darkness follow her into the spotlight?… (más)

This story really captures the myriad of emotions and consequences of a missing child and how this impacts every member of the family and especially Esme. It was sad and hard to read sometimes as the emotions were realistically shared and poignant. It gave me insight into the struggles of the family during this crisis and then a glimpse of what it felt like to be reunited. Well written and believable characters. ( )

This was the story of Lily, a 4 year-old who was abducted from her home. The books is predominately about how her abduction affected the remaining family members. This book had large gaps in the story-line and also seemed very superficial. This was the author's first novel and I got it free on Kindle first-reads. Potential! ( )

I feel bad for not rating this higher, but for a story with such an emotional plotline, it really didn't raise my emotions. It was a good idea and had good bones, but I feel like the author really missed out on the chance to make this the tear-jerker it could have been. 3/5 ⭐ ( )

A 4 year-old walked out of an apartment and got snatched up by someone who lost a family and kept as a pseudo daughter, while her family who got left behind had to deal with the turmoil and emotional scars that she left behind in particular her older sister Esme. The author did a good job lay out the threads of before and after Lily's disappearance, then after she was found 8 years later. It is a hallowing story. ( )

liked this book, though it wasn't quite the suspense/thriller that I was expecting -- the mystery of a missing girl is the reason for the story, but the actual meat of the novel is about the ways in which a tragic loss can forever change individuals and families. This book is full of emotion and angst, with an undercurrent of misplaced guilt throughout. I thought the child character of Esme was well-developed, though the older teen version fell a bit flat. Perhaps that was intentional on the part of the author however, to demonstrate how much of herself Esme lost as she grew up without her younger sister. I recommend this book, particularly for a reader with a side interest in ballet (the descriptions of Esme's technique and performances were detailed and highly evocative). 3 stars. ( )
