Book Synopsis

DISCOVER AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR VIKKI WAKEFIELD’S GRIPPING PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER

What happens to a family when a child goes missing?

In a busy street market, Abbie lets go of six-year-old Sarah’s hand.

She isn't a bad mother, just exhausted.

But when she turns around, her daughter is gone.

Six years on, Abbie is in love and getting married. But her fragile peace is constantly threatened: not knowing what happened to Sarah.

Then she receives a phone call from a man claiming to know what happened, but if Abbie tells anyone she’ll never find out the truth.

After You Were Gone is an edge-of-your-seat thriller that poses the question: How far would you go to find your child?
