Emily, Gone

Written by Bette Lee Crosby

Narrated by Donna Postel

A missing child sets the lives of three women on a collision course in this powerful and compelling novel by USA Today bestselling author Bette Lee Crosby.

1971.

When a music festival rolls through the sleepy town of Hesterville, Georgia, the Dixon family’s lives are forever changed. On the final night, a storm muffles the sound of the blaring music, and Rachel tucks her baby into bed before falling into a deep sleep. So deep, she doesn’t hear the kitchen door opening. When she and her husband wake up in the morning, the crib is empty. Emily is gone.

Vicki Robart is one of the thousands at the festival, but she’s not feeling the music. She’s feeling the emptiness over the loss of her own baby several months before. When she leaves the festival and is faced with an opportunity to fill that void, she is driven to an act of desperation that will forever bind the lives of three women.

When the truth of what actually happened that fateful night is finally exposed, shattering the lives they’ve built, will they be able to pick up the pieces to put their families back together again?

Reviews for Emily, Gone

[Tonya Cantu · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Holy moly! Absolutely fantastic read! I rate a lot of books 4-5 stars but rarely do they make it in my “favorites” shelf. To be put there they must be a 10 star read to me. Well this one is going in my favorites shelf! I listened to the audio version of this and they did a fantastic job. Everything about this storyline was perfect. I loved how it was all wrapped up and everything e didn’t get a bunch of hate and drama t the end. Kudos on how the author portrayed her characters. There isn’t one thing I would change about this book. Well maybe except in the epilogue we could have found out what Murphy did or detective Wilson. It would have been neat to have him included in the ending since he worked so hard on Rachel’s case. But it’s not a big deal. I will definitely be following this author. If you Love good baby kidnapping suspense that keeps you hooked from every single page and rings out every emotion possible in you and to have your heart warmed then grab this book. You will not be disappointed.
