About this item
Norton has given us living, breathing characters that we know and understand . . . and who inhabit our imaginations after weve finished this book. --Jeffery DeaverIn many ways, Reeve LeClaire looks like a typical twenty-two year old girl. Shes finally landed her own apartment, she waitresses to pay the bills, and she wishes she wasnt so nervous around new people. She thinks of herself as agile, not skittish. As serious, not grim. But Reeve is anything but normal. Ten years ago, she was kidnapped and held captive. After a lucky escape, shes spent the last six years trying to rebuild her life, a recovery thanks in large part to her indispensable therapist Dr. Ezra Lerner. But when he asks her to help another girl rescued from a similar situation, Reeve realizes she may not simply need to mentor this young victim--she may be the only one who can protect her from a cunning predator who is still out there, watching every move.
