The Girl Is Mine: A Psychological Thriller

About this book

Two families want her. Now she's missing. Ava and Ryan Shetland were loving parents to Gracie in every way that mattered. They were there for her first steps, her first words, and her middle-of-the-night wakeups. As years passed with no contact from Gracie's biological parents, the permanent adoption of their precious foster daughter felt predetermined. But weeks before the final adoption hearing, Gracie's biological parents reappear out of nowhere. The judge grants them custody. And just like that, Ava and Ryan's little girl is gone. Devastated and concerned for Gracie's well-being, Ava and Ryan secretly follow the reunited family on a camping trip to prove the court made a catastrophic mistake. When they return home armed with evidence of the other couple's bad behavior, the news is already breaking: Gracie has vanished. Police say she is lost in the wilderness. Ava knows better. But when Ava and Ryan's secret surveillance trip comes to light, they suddenly become the prime suspects in Gracie's disappearance. With every hour that passes, the case against them grows stronger, and Gracie's odds of survival dwindle. But Ava refuses to stop searching. Her mother's intuition tells her that Gracie is still alive. As Ava edges closer to the truth, she only knows one thing for sure. A mother will do anything to protect her child. A gripping psychological thriller with pulse-pounding twists, perfect for fans of Gone Girl, Freida McFadden, and Just the Nicest Couple. Readers love Laura Wolfe: "WOW Just wow ...
