It's a quick, fast-paced, absorbing true story about a parent's worst nightmare-your child runs away and goes missing. Diane and Gary's determination, smarts and fierce love for their daughter pulls you into this harrowing experience. The photos she has placed throughout the book are amazing - helping you see why this beautiful young girl had so many people across the country trying to help her parents find her. A story of innocence lost, the horror that can happen to anyone and what a parent/friend/neighbor can do if this should happen to anyone you know, love and care about.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. What Would You Do If Your Daughter Were Being Sold?By Pepsi stuffOH, my. Lots of humor in seeing dysfunction in a home. Diane doesn't hold back with a great writers voice. I read the whole book in 24 hours. When I got to chapter 6... oh man, my stomach hurt. Just got worse in chapter 7. I was amazed at some of the tricks Diane used on the net. I would never have thought to use any of these tactics. Not that I would want to have to use them. Educated and wiser through a chilling drama of a woman who would not give up, I highly recommend this book.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. No family is immune.By Sheryl BrownMy heart was in my throat while reading this book. I've always considered myself blessed with my children but realized that I was just lucky. We're all the same, mother's, children, fathers and family, here by the grace of God. Life is so fragile and so special, love is all that matters in the end. Well done Diane, thank you for sharing your deepest pain in hopes that one more child will be saved.
