Naomi finds missing children, that's what she does. The snow girl is waiting to be found. But will Naomi find out the truth in time? From the author of THE ENCHANTED, a novel as unsettling as LULLABY or ROOM, and as beautifully written as THE LOVELY BONES or HISTORY OF WOLVES
"What were you running from, then?" she had asked.
"Monsters," was all that Naomi could remember.
Naomi Cotter has been running all her life. But now she has a purpose. She finds missing children. When the police have stopped searching, and the press have moved on, Naomi is the one person parents can turn to.
Somewhere out in the woods, the Snow Child is waiting. She doesn't know who she is any more and her past life seems like a dream. But she is laying a trail so that someone out there can find her . . .
