#1 New York Times Bestseller

From the New York Times, bestselling author of Invisible Girl and The Truth About Melody Browne comes a “gripping” (Popsugar) and observed” (People) family drama that dives in the lingering aftermath of a young girl’s disappearance.

Elie Mack was the perfect girl. She was fifteen, the youngest of three. Loved by her parents, friends and teachers, and half a couple of ‘golden teenagers. Elie has been just days away from the idyllic post-exam summer vacation, with her whole life ahead of her.

And Then She Was Gone: A Novel.

Now her mother, Laurel Mack is trying to rebuild her it’s been ten years since her daughter disappeared, seven years after her marriage ended and only a few months since the last clue in Ellie’s case was uncovered. So when she meets a handsome man in a bar, no one is more surprised than Laurel to see how their flirtation turns into something deeper. Before he knows it, he meets Floud’s daughters and his youngest, Poppy, takes Laure;’s breath away.

Because watching Poppy is like Watching Ellie. And now the unanswered questions she was trying to silence start to haunt Laurel again. Where did Ellie go? Did she run from home, as police have long suspected, or was does her daughter remind Laurel about her missing girl?
