Until Violet returns to the hotel room to discover that her husband has left without a trace; and he's taken their child with him.

But friends don't ask you to hide their kidnapped son, threatening to reveal a secret which could destroy your family if you don't.
Do they?
Told through the viewpoints of Violet, Caitlin and Finn, Almost Missed You is a powerful story of love, betrayal, and secrets that maybe shouldn't be kept. . .
