When I wake up with the sun in my eyes the morning after my daughter’s birthday party, I know something is very wrong. I go straight to her room but feel a surge of panic when I see an empty bed. Downstairs everything is totally quiet, and the front door is locked. Why didn’t I hear her scream? Who took our little girl?
My husband says I’ve been struggling since Skylar was born and that sometimes I forget things. But I remember every moment of my daughter’s party—including him locking the door after our family and friends left. Yes, we both had a drink and I slept heavily but I know I would have heard my child cry. A good mother always does.
My therapist says I need to stand up for myself. She wants me to confront my husband about the woman I heard him talking to the other night when he thought I was asleep. And about the child’s toy that I found that does not belong to Skylar. Is he hiding something?
But as the hours race by I soon realize I was totally wrong about everything that happened that night. I thought I’d put my past behind me long ago but I was wrong. All I know is this: I’ll do whatever it takes to save my child.
Will you believe me?
A heart-pounding, unbelievably twisty psychological thriller that will have you sleeping with the light on! Fans of Gone Girl, Behind Closed Doors and The Stepdaughter will be utterly gripped.
MY REVIEW:
Missing Daughter by Kiersten ModglinMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Ginny had a tough pregnancy and labor. It seems it caused a lot of mental health issues and it is hard for her to get close to her daughter, Skylar. Her husband Cameron seems to find it easy to love Skylar. But so much is on him since Ginny can't seem to function. He has a full time job, does housework and takes care of Skylar.
Ginny starts taking Skylar to the park and they end up meeting Alex and her niece. Alex and Ginny become good friends and we find out Alex is a therapist and Ginny starts talking to her. That's when I started having doubts about what was really going on.
I thought Cameron had a lot on his plate plus trying to cope with Ginny. I know she was getting help but sometimes it didn't feel like it was helping.
Skylar's birthday party is really where the book started and then went months back up until Skylar went missing. Ginny and Cameron come together to find Skylar but we also find out more things about the parents.
I did not have post partem depression after my kids were born so I couldn't relate but I could sympathize with Ginny. I felt glad that I didn't go through that but at the same time felt bad that I felt that way.
I received this book from Bookouture and NetGalley to review.
