An amazing story as always. Kiera has raised her autistic son all alone. All of a sudden his father shows up. How will she handle this. This book truly shows how people manage in their lives, even when it’s difficult.

[Anna B · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mine is a wonderful book about the love of family and the ties that connect us, but as in all of Sharon’s books there is a twist.
Kiera has raised Daniel, her autistic son alone and is dating Jake. She’s happy with life the way it is until Mason, Daniel’s father shows up in their lives wanting custody.
How will she handle this situation? What really defines a family?
I loved this book and recommend it.

I should have copied the Amazon review I just wrote, lol... Keira and Daniel face their greatest challenges yet. Daniel's biological father has reentered their lives. What will happen next? Fantastic addition to the series.

Keira has been raising her autistic son all by herself for the past 8 years, since his birth. When the biological father didn't want to be a dad, she moved on and made a good life for her and her son. Now after all these years he suddenly wants full custody. But why now?
This was a well-written story with a twist you won't see coming. The author did a fantastic job of conveying the emotions and feelings of both Keira as a mom and Daniel who has autism. As a mother with an autistic child I could really relate to Keira. Really enjoyed this book! This was my first book of the series, and I'd really love to go back and read the others.
I was given a complimentary copy from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review.

This is a story about Kiera’s background and her son Daniel. Interesting how she has developed stories on all the characters she put into “Gone”. It also shows you how to appreciate understanding autism. She doesn’t do the policeman Jake any favors saying he didn’t recognize Keira’s Mother, come on now, he’s a cop! All in all it was another great read by Mitchell. 5

[Deanna · Rating 4 out of 5]

The story is good, compelling even. But there needs to be a new editor or proof. Each book in the continued series has had some misspelled or wrong contextual words. This was by far the worst for errors. It takes away from the story.

What I've been waiting for

This book in the series was everything I had been waiting for.
I don't know if the ending was what I hoped for, but overall I needed Kiera's story.

[Morgan Burnham · Rating 5 out of 5]

I needed this book. I needed this knowledge of Kiera and what made her tick.

While the ending wasn't exactly the experience I was looking for, I'm still enamored with the characters!

[Teresa Tignola · Rating 4 out of 5]

Qui la storia è di Keira, quella che qualche volume dietro è stata la prima amica di Elizabeth.
Non abbiamo mai saputo molto di lei, ma qui si capiscono molte cose. Soprattutto chi è il padre di Daniel e perché non è presente. Ragione molto semplice: è scappato!😅
Ma ora è tornato, e per una ragione davvero meschina: vuole la custodia di Daniel.
Allora. Un maschio, perché non è uomo, che scappa di fronte ad una donna incinta non merita niente nemmeno dopo vent'anni secondo me. Soprattutto se la ragione per la quale torni riguarda i soldi! 
Mentre leggevo questo libro mi sono sentita così arrabbiata con lui, ma anche con lei, che ho dovuto fermare la lettura più di una volta per calmarmi!
Ad ogni modo un'altra bella lettura, e la fine mi è piaciuta, anche se non al 100%.
