Book Description: We all have stories we never tell.
Before Owen Michaels disappears, he manages to smuggle a note to his beloved wife of one year: Protect her.

Despite her confusion and fear, Hannah Hall knows exactly to whom the note refers: Owen’s sixteen-year-old daughter, Bailey. Bailey, who lost her mother tragically as a child. Bailey, who wants absolutely nothing to do with her new stepmother.

As Hannah’s increasingly desperate calls to Owen go unanswered; as the FBI arrests Owen’s boss; as a US Marshal and FBI agents arrive at her Sausalito home unannounced, Hannah quickly realizes her husband isn’t who he said he was. And that Bailey just may hold the key to figuring out Owen’s true identity—and why he really disappeared.

Hannah and Bailey set out to discover the truth, together. But as they start putting together the pieces of Owen’s past, they soon realize they are also building a new future. One neither Hannah nor Bailey could have anticipated.

I really loved that book and I was hooked on the book right away and and I can’t answer numbers 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 and 8 and 9 and I would want Owen Michaels to be played by Ryan McPartlin and I would want Bailey Michaels to be played by Bailee Madison and I would like Hannah Hall to be played by Natalie Portman

Congrats Christine! Glad you enjoyed it.

1. I was actually hooked immediately. I usually take a week or more to read a book...but this time I finished it over the weekend!
4. I don't think the setting was unique - it could have been set most anywhere.
8. I think I related to Hannah - I enjoyed watching her transformation as a mama bear - trying to protect her young at all costs.
9. I found the ending satisfying enough, though I would have liked one thing different (can't say what cuz it would be a spoiler).

Congrats Andra! Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks Leigh
