The story follows Laurel Mack, a mother who has never fully recovered from the disappearance of her fifteen-year-old daughter, Ellie, ten years ago. Ellie vanished one morning, leaving no trace, and her case was never solved.
Laurel's life has been consumed by grief and guilt, a relentless cycle that has destroyed her marriage and strained her relationship with her other children. Just as she feels she's finally starting to put the pieces of her life back together, she meets a charming man named Floyd. He seems to be the perfect companion, but there's a strange connection: his nine-year-old daughter, Poppy, is the spitting image of what Ellie would have looked like at that age.
This uncanny resemblance reawakens Laurel's obsession with her daughter's disappearance. As she becomes more involved with Floyd and Poppy, she starts to uncover a series of unsettling secrets that lead her to question everything she thought she knew about the day Ellie disappeared. The book is a tense, emotional journey that weaves together past and present, exploring themes of family secrets, grief, and the lengths a mother will go to for her child
