This is an emotional journey into the life of the 'unstolen' sister of Michael. It is inspired by the true story of Michael Dunahee's abduction in Canada in the early 1990's.


The characters were very well developed. Bethany feels like a friend of mine now, and it was sad to read the last sentence. A very nice and thorough dramatic realistic story that treats the psychological and emotional side of a family whose boy was abducted, and how it affected every member of the family, especially the sister.… (meer)

About Bethany, who when she was a baby, her 4 year old brother goes missing. No trace of him is ever found again. This book is about what it’s like for Bethany growing up knowing that her mother will never recover from this traumatic event in their lives.

Bethany grows up and goes on to have her own son. One day, when he is 4, her mother suddenly loses her mind, follows a man home and brutally beats him to death! The story goes on to explore what can have made this woman finally snap after all these years, and what it was that pushed her over the edge.

An extremely emotional book profoundly thought provoking and excellently written.
