About The Book
 
Book Reviews

Torment raged through the mind of Rene DuBois as she sat on her patio one chilly afternoon in Berlin, Germany. Forced to bear a painful secret all these past years, she decides that she must release these horrible memories. She writes to Rosy, her teen friend from her youth, who still resides in the United States. That first letter starts an avalanche of painful untold events witnessed by two good friends.

The letter reveals the facts of Ken Mitchell, the disappearance of his little girl, Sasha and the turmoil following the illness of insanity suffered by his beloved wife Marsha and the torment he endured while searching for Sasha.

Rosy was overjoyed to receive that first letter but oh so sad to read its shocking contents. With tears clouding her eyes, she too admits it is time to reveal the story that has tormented her mind for too many years and is relieved knowing she can, at last, clear her conscience of the nightmares of yesteryear.

Breaking her oath of silence, she writes about Mendy, the third of the trio of their youth. Mendy and Misty, her daughter, were abducted from a street in Atlanta, Georgia. No trace of the two was evident until Nathan Girrod, a detective assigned to the case, enlisted his contacts to heat up the trail to find the two missing females.

"This isn't your typical story and it's not your typical compilation of letters. It's a story about friendship, mystery, kidnappings, forbidden love, obsession, and more. By the time, I finished this book I had tears in my eyes. This book is five out of five postage stamps."
