Beth is desperate to return to normality. After a years-long ordeal, her daughter is finally home and safe. But Carmel has questions she can’t ignore about the cult that kidnapped her, and about the preacher who gave her another girl’s name.

Digging into her past, Carmel uncovers secrets which suggest that she wasn’t the only lost girl – and which puts her in danger all over again.

When her daughter Carmel disappeared as a child, Beth did everything in her power to find her. Carmel, meanwhile, was on a terrifying journey of her own. Now the two are reunited – their long, painful separation finally over – and Beth is ready to resume their life where they’d been tragically forced to leave off years before. But Carmel has learned something about herself that they cannot ignore – even if it means facing the very person who separated them to begin with.
