"Eight-year-old Sophie Donohue wanted to be like every other little girl, which is why her mother, Janine, reluctantly agreed to let her go on a camping trip with her Brownie troop. But when Janine arrives to pick up Sophie after the trip, her daughter is not among the others. Somehow, along the forested route from West Virginia, Sophie has disappeared. Sophie suffers from a rare disease, and without treatment, it's only a matter of days before the illness will claim her life. Janine searches for the child, along with her ex-husband Joe, and a gardener, Lucas. As their frustration grows, so does the envy and suspicion between the two men, casting doubts on each other's true motives for trying to find the little girl. Deep in the forest, another drama unfolds. Sophie has found refuge in a remote cabin, where a woman is preparing a hideaway for her own daughter, who has escaped from prison after being wrongly imprisoned for murder. Sophie's arrival puts in jeopardy her daughter's future, but the mysterious woman is as determined to save her daughter as Janine is to save Sophie. Only one of them can succeed..."--Author's website.
