Summary
Eight-year-old Sophie Donohue just wanted to be like every other little girl. Which is why her mother, Janine, reluctantly agreed to let her go on the weekend camping trip with her Brownie troop. But when Janine arrives to pick up Sophie after the trip, her daughter is not with the others. Somehow, along the forested route from West Virginia, Sophie has disappeared.

Sophie is no ordinary eight-year-old. She suffers from a rare disease, and Janine has recently enrolled her in an experimental treatment as a last effort to save her life-despite the vehement objections of her ex-husband, Joe. Without her medication, Sophie cannot survive long. All her mother's instincts tell Janine that Sophie is alive, but time is running out.

This was very slow to really get started, to the point I nearly gave up, especially as the narrator was awful. I don't know if she was too near the microphone or what the problem was, but every single breath she took was a loud asthmatic gasp which became extremely distracting and annoying. This should definitely have been picked up by the sound manager and corrected. Least enjoyable Chamberlain book.

Definitely not my favorite Chamberlain book. A good story line, but some of the characters (the parents and ex husband) were such horrible people, they were painful to listen to. The main character was ostensibly an intelligent and independent woman, but much of her dialogue and inner monologue did not reflect this. She was made out to be unassertive and codependent. The narrator’s voice was simpering. I cringed through much of this book, but the story line held me, and I listened through to the end.

This audio kept me on my toes. Some predictions not a lot. All in all I could not stop listening. Wish author would have elaborated more at the end with Zoey. Will not mention why
