About this book

ONE MISSING GIRL. ONE RADICAL CHURCH. ONE DAY.

Every day since her sister vanished, Rachel has visited the radical church where Leah was last seen. There are still no suspects or leads, but Rachel's positive clues lie in that church somewhere.

Thirteen days on from Leah's disappearance, the pastor introduces Rachel to Tim, a devout worshiper of his Lord. To avoid dealing with his own demons, he agrees to spend the day helping Rachel search for her sister.

It's Saturday, March 14. Maybe today will be the day. Maybe today Rachel will be reunited with Leah. Or maybe today will change Rachel's life forever.

For fans of GONE GIRL, this gripping Young Adult thriller will keep you guessing until its explosive climax.
