The Daughter - Paperback

by Jane Shemilt (Author)

A riveting psychological thriller about a mother's obsessive search for her missing daughter.

Jenny is a successful doctor, the mother of three great teenagers, married to a celebrated neurosurgeon.

But when her youngest child, fifteen-year-old Naomi, doesn't come home from a school play, Jenny's seemingly ideal life begins to crumble. There is a nationwide search with no success. Naomi has vanished, and her family is broken.

As the months pass, the worst-case scenarios--kidnapping, murder--seem less plausible. Yet more than a year later, a desperate Jenny is still digging for answers--and what she finds disturbs her. Everyone she's trusted, everyone she thought she knew, has been keeping secrets, especially Naomi. Piecing together the traces her daughter left behind, Jenny discovers a very different Naomi from girl she thought she'd raised.

Jenny knows she'll never be able to find Naomi unless she uncovers the whole truth--a twisting, painful journey into the past that will lead to an almost unthinkable revelation...
