I enjoyed this mystery. The plot has been seen before, but it was a quick read and I liked the characterizations. Annie is a young widow raising her 12 year old son, Dan, and 7-year-old daughter, Rachel. She has become involved with Julian and they are in love. Things are not without stress because they have some different ideas on things - including housekeeping. (She is the slob.) They have decided to take the next step and get married. Rachel is thrilled because she adores Julian. Dan - well, not so much. It's hard to tell if it is because he is a teen or because he doesn't want this man to take his father's place. Shortly after they make the announcement Dan fails to return home from school. The police do a thorough investigation but can find no clues. Deep down Julian thinks that they will never know what happened. Annie, however, can not let go of her hope. Their marriage plans are put on hold. And then one day Annie receives the call that she has been waiting for. Dan returns to her - but now he is 15 and oh so different.
