And Then She Was Gone Description
Eleven-year-old Lauren O'Neil vanished one sunny afternoon as she walked home from school. Six years later, her parents Rachel and Dan still tirelessly scour their Oregon hometown and beyond, always believing Lauren will be found. Then one day, the call comes.
Lauren has been rescued from a secluded farm mere miles away, and her abductor has confessed. Yet her return is nothing like Rachel imagined. Though the revelations about what Lauren endured are shocking, most heartbreaking of all is to see the bright-eyed, assertive daughter she knew transformed into a wary, polite stranger.
Lauren's first instinct is to flee. For years she's been told her parents forgot her; now she doubts the pieces of her life can ever fit together again. But Rachel refuses to lose her a second time. Little by little they must relearn what it means to be a family, trusting that their bond is strong enough to guide them back to each other.
Intensely moving and absorbing, this is an extraordinary story told with sensitivity and grace, and filled with the depth and breadth of a mother's love.

Great story, I wanted to hurry up and read it to find out what was going to happen,but I didn't want it to end! Rosalind Noonan is a great story teller. Can't wait to share it with my friends. Thank you :)

And Then She Was Gone is a story about a young girl named Lauren who was kidnapped and held for 6 nightmarish years before she was found and reunited with her family. The complexities and hardships that the family goes through during Lauren's captivity and then once Lauren is found are brilliantly explored by Rosalind Noonan. We all want to believe that the nightmare ends once any victim is rescued and I appreciated Noonan's beautifully written novel depicting the long hard struggle that Lauren must endure to assemble a new life for herself. A moving tale that will won't disappoint.
