Just a second. That was all it took.
In that second, Anita Sherwood saw the face of a young boy in the window of a passing bus…and knew it was her son. The son who had been kidnapped two years before. The son who had never been found and was declared legally dead.
But her son was alive. Anita knew it in her heart.
She was certain the boy was her son, but how could she get anyone to believe her? She’d given the police leads before that ended up going nowhere, so they weren’t exactly eager to waste time chasing another dead end on a dead case.
It was going to be up to Anita to uncover the truth. She would stop at nothing to get her son back.
