Great character development, but not enough of the plot threads were wrapped up at the end (which I guess is kind of like life, so perhaps this is a metaphysical comment on our state of being). All in all, I liked it. ( )

This was a superb read! I found it to flow smoothly, the writing was excellent.

The story is about a young woman whose father perished while piloting a plane, and neither her nor her mother knew exactly where he was or what he was doing when he died. The best they could come up with was something to do with CIA, possibly running guns, drugs, or ??? The mother, Anne, has spent 20 years with limited knowledge of her husband's death, because even though she tried to find out, her questions all remained unanswered by those that knew the truth but were unwilling or unable to reveal it to her.

Miranda, the daughter, has a car accident in the beginning of the story....and a mysterious man finds her in the wreckage. Miraculously, Miranda is not seriously hurt. The man asks her where she wants to go, and in a moment of spontaneity, Miranda asks the man to take her to another town, a beach town. She has decided to start a whole new life.

Then, when Anne is not able to reach Miranda, she begins a search for her daughter that seems to take her nowhere.

There are many different things going on in this book at once, but the author has expertly brought everything together into a smooth, taut, riveting read.

I would highly recommend this book, and I look forward to reading the author's debut "Josie & Jack" in the near future. ( )

dark and haunting, a thrilling, sharply intelligent and moving book. ( )

Story seemed to jump aroung a lot; many unanswered questions; left hanging ( )
