'Excellent story! Kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Stayed up late to finish reading it. Hated the abusive person in this story but loved the story.' - Goodreads reviewer

Fleeing a violent relationship, Sian Tanner hides out at the cottage she inherited from her eccentric Great Aunt May in rural New Zealand. As she settles into small town life, she begins to dig deeper into the disappearance of Ben the forest boy, she spent her summers playing with as a child. But confusion sets in when she discovers a boy named Ben Stokes vanished without a trace in McCrae's Forest in 1956. The boy is the spitting image of her Ben, the beautiful boy she loved as a child.

Alice Granger is a therapist who specializes in helping women recover from domestic abuse. When she receives threatening texts containing images of her doing the unthinkable, she has to make a difficult decision. The texts are sent from Brendon Durie, the man who terrorized Sian Tanner, and he wants to make a deal. If Alice gives him the location of where Sian is hiding, he won't release these images to the press. But there is another option that Alice may explore, one that carries many risks.
