I've had this book laying around for probably a decade and I finally got around to it; I'm so glad I did. The story really reminds you that at the end of the day we're all just a bunch of flawed human beings, even though some are obviously worse than others.

As much as I wanted to empathize with the mother I couldn't bring myself to do it. I know it has to be hard to think you're never going to see your child again, but you can't treat the one you have left like they don't matter or be cruel to them whenever the thought of the missing one is too much to handle.

The moment a parent of more than one child ever says there's nothing left in life if the missing one never returns; I'm done feeling sorry for them. You may not be able to help thinking something like that but no decent person would ever say it.

It was well written but I didn’t like how it has nothing more to offer other than the story telling of how Amy’s life have turned around and how their family have changed when Carrie left. It’s not worth the read, I’m sorry.

It's about a girl named Amy who's 13 and her big sister Carrie goes missing and it's about Amy keeping the faith while her big sis is missing!

I read this book when I was a teenager and for some reason it has stuck with me. I have recently given it to my daughter to read she enjoyed it as well.
