An absorbing story that really sucks you into the 1970’s time period, not to mention the Southern hot weather that can’t help but shine through. And all the more fascinating since it is based on a true story that was conveyed to the author directly from one of the young girls involved.

Willie June and Glory have never seen the ocean and they can’t believe their luck when a visiting evangelist offers to take them on a vacation to the beach. Their mother, Del, thinks will be the perfect way to get the girls some summertime fun, and also give Del some desperately needed time off. The vacation quickly turns into a nightmare for both of the girls and for Del who put her all into finding just one person or clue as to where her daughters are and when they’re coming back.

Recommended for fans of historical fiction of more recent eras, it should also appeal to book clubs.

A big thank you to Avery Caswell, TouchPoint Press, and LibraryThing for providing a complimentary Advanced Reader Copy in exchange for this honest review.

The story is amazing and sooo sad. However, the delivery needs a bit of work as it was very difficult to feel engaged in the story.

I found the characters intriguing and enjoyed trying to figure out the various motivations for their actions. Disturbing to know that this really happened.
