What can desperate parents do when their worst nightmare
comes true? Where do they turn when
their child has gone missing and all hope seems lost? In The Child Finder, by Rene Denfeld, they
turn to Naomi, a woman who has known the raw reality of what it is to be lost,
and what it takes to be found.
Three years ago, on what should have been a joyous holiday
excursion, five-year-old Madison Culver went missing while her family was
seeking the perfect Christmas tree.
Countless search and rescue missions in Oregon’s Skookum National Forest
turned up no clue of Madison’s fate. She
seemingly disappeared without a trace.
Not wanting to give up on finding their daughter, and
clinging to the barest hope that she might still be alive, the Culvers' turn to
Naomi, a former lost child with a reputation for finding the unfindable. Having survived her own childhood abduction,
Naomi will stop at nothing to follow the instincts and intuition born of her
still mysterious past.
Where are you, Madison Culver? Flying with the angels, a silver speck on a wing? Are you dreaming, buried under snow? Or—is it possible—you are still alive?
The search for Madison is, at the same time, the search for something Naomi senses she lost while being found. Will the revelation of what really happened to Madison, and Naomi, be a becoming, or an undoing? Are buried secrets best left alone, or will their unveiling allow Naomi to finally open herself up to all that has been missing in her life?
The Child Finder is breathtaking. This novel's interwoven themes of resilience, love, hope, despair, loss, fear, and redemption will stay with you long after you read the very last sentence of this book. Highly recommended.
