"Here is the truth, this is what I know: I was walking on the beach with Emma. It was cold and very foggy. She let go of my hand. I stopped to photograph a baby seal, then glanced up toward the Great Highway. When I looked back, she was gone."
From this devastating moment unfolds the spellbinding story of Abby Mason—photographer, fiancée, soon-to-be stepmother—and the consequences of her greatest error. Heartbreaking, uplifting, and beautifully told, it is a riveting tale of how life can change in an instant, of the search for the truth behind a child’s disappearance, and of one woman’s unwavering faith in the redemptive power of love.
