The Empty Nest

‘Sometimes we can’t see what’s right in front of us, Kat.
Everyone has secrets, even the people we love, the people we live with…’

Kat remembers the days when her only daughter Amy
wouldn't leave her side. Amy was the baby who cried when you walked out
of the room, the toddler who was too shy to speak to strangers, the
small child who clung to Kat's legs in the school playground.

But
now Amy is grown up, and Amy is gone – to university in a town several
hours away. Kat's house – which once felt too full, too noisy, too busy –
is deathly quiet, and Kat awaits the daily phone call to tell her that
her beloved daughter is thriving and happy.

Until the day Amy
doesn’t call, sending Kat into a panic. Her husband and friends say
she’s being paranoid – surely Amy is just out, having fun? But Kat feels
sure something is very wrong – she knows her daughter, and she would
never just disappear.

As the hours turn into days, her fears are
confirmed: Amy is missing. But there are secrets about her daughter that
Kat doesn't know about yet. And the truth about Amy's whereabouts may
be closer to home than Kat could ever imagine...
