This thrilling read really kept my interest as I rooted for the mother to figure out what was happening to her daughter. The mother is Barbara and she is determined to find help for her daughter Emily. Emily has a drug problem and holding an intervention and then sending her to a treatment facility seems to be Barbara's best chance to help her. So she confronts Emily and then sends her off on a plane with the counselor from the treatment facility. Except then the counselor turns up dead at the airport, and Emily is no where to be found. Barbara is devestated, but she is also determined to find her daughter and help her - no matter what.
The twists and turns of the story kept me riveted to the story, and I could relate to Barbara's intense need to help her child. All of the characters seemed realistic and relatable, and I liked the way that their relationships with one another played out. I would definitely recommend this one to fans of suspenseful yet family centered stories. ( )

Emily Covington disappears on her way to a drug treatment and her interventionist is found dead. Did she kill her interventionist or is she the victim of a cold blooded killer. Her mother and brother set out to find her as Detective Kent Harlan tries to find her to arrest her for murder.

There is good suspense once the novel gets going, but it was tougher for me to like the main characters early in the novel. The "bad guy" kind of comes out of left field partway through the book too.

What I liked: Blackstock didn't glamorize the drug addict's life. She let us see how much the people around the addict suffer as well as showing insight into what goes through the addict's mind; Barbara and Lance both seem to love Emily despite what she's put the family through; Lance is still able to talk to Harlan about God even with all that's happened; Emily reaches out to God and finds He is still there, waiting for her to come to him;

What I didn't like: Road Back Recovery's methods seem a bit off to me (based on Kent Harlan's visit there and what is recorded on the blog Barbara Covington reads); Barbara chooses the first rehab center that comes up on her search of Christian rehab centers--apparently without doing any further research into the treatment center--since she's paying big bucks to do this, one would think she'd want some assurance they had a decent treatment regimen; Lance doesn't listen to his mom and uses manipulative techniques to get her to give in to him--I'll justify the one where he calls Harlan to tattle on his mom when he thinks she's going to get herself into trouble, but others were not done for unselfish reasons; ( )
