Where the Road Ends

From a USA Today-bestselling author, "e;an emotionally intense, compelling story of the changes one mother goes through as she searches for her missing child"e; (Booklist). There are some things only a mother can feel. At one time, Amy Wainscoat had it all wealth, control of her family's Chicago business, a handsome and loving husband, a child she adored. But her husband was killed in a boating accident a year ago. And now, most devastating of all, five-year-old Charles has been kidnapped, apparently by the nanny she'd recently fired. Despite the involvement of the police and the FBI, despite the fact that she's hired one of the best private investigators around, Amy's determined to be part of the search. There are some things only a mother can do. When Charles and his ex-nanny are spotted in Michigan, Amy drives across the state, following every conceivable lead, following each road to its end. As she and her detective grow close, their shared quest engenders an intimacy that's more real than anything except her love for Charles. Then, one day, the search is over. And what they find shocks Amy as nothing has ever shocked her before.
