About the book
Jacquelyn Mitchard's first novel begins in a crowded Chicago hotel lobby, where Beth Cappadora, a Wisconsin photographer, has come for her high school reunion. She asks her seven-year-old son Vincent to watch his little brother, and within minutes three-year-old Ben is gone. A police search grows into a national obsession, yet no trace of the boy turns up. Beth's husband Pat owns a restaurant, and the couple also have an infant daughter, Kerry. The novel became a best seller and launched Oprah's Book Club as its very first pick.
Oprah Winfrey called it an intense story about a mother's worst nightmare and assured mothers who doubted they could face the subject that they could.

It's an intense tale that really is a mother's worst nightmare. A lot of you who are mothers think you can't read the book at first, but you really can — trust me.
