Kidnapped or Runaway?
All her life, Sylvie, has taken care of other people. For years, she was the sole care taker of her father. While in that role, she adopted, Rose, who she raised as her own daughter. Now, at 17, Rose is pulling away, and chafing against normal teenage rules.
Rose viciously lashes out at Sylvie, claiming the rules are used to keep her from enjoying life, and that Sylvie isn’t her “real mom” anyway. Because of Rose’s rebellion, Sylvie relaxes some of the rules, and suddenly, Rose disappears.
Has she left of her own free will? Or has she been kidnapped? Clues appear that can support either scenario. What is the truth?
Set against the background of the fabulous 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, this story is exciting, and is a mystery right up to the very end. The real descriptions of the fair transport you to that thrilling time, while the puzzle of what happened to Rose will keep you turning the pages.
Faith and God plays an integral part of the tale, and Sylvie, a self-sufficient woman, finds a long-time friendship might be something more. I highly recommend this 5-star book.
