About this listen
An Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal best seller.
From New York Times best-selling author Catherine Ryan Hyde comes a gripping and emotional novel about friendship, motherhood, and the journey toward finding a place to call home.
Brooke is a divorced single mom, financially strapped, living with her mother, and holding tight to the one thing that matters most: her two-year-old daughter, Etta. Then, in a matter of seconds, Brooke’s life is shattered when she’s carjacked. Helpless and terrified, all Brooke can do is watch as Etta, still strapped in her seat, disappears into the Los Angeles night.
Miles away, Etta is found by Molly, a homeless teen who is all too used to darkness. Thrown away by her parents, and with a future as stable as the wooden crate she calls home, Molly survives day to day by her wits. As unpredictable as her life is, she’s stunned to find Etta, abandoned and alone. Shielding the little girl from more than the elements, Molly must put herself in harm’s way to protect a child as lost as she is.
Out of one terrible moment, Brooke’s and Molly’s desperate paths converge, and an unlikely friendship across generations and circumstances is formed. With it, Brooke and Molly will come to discover that what’s lost - and what’s found - can change in a heartbeat.

Think I’m being overly kind with the 3 stars!

It's a very basic and predictable storyline with mostly unpleasant characters that lack any real depth.
The writer seems to be "dumbing down" one if the characters to make her appear younger, which really doesn't have the affect I think she was going for.
She just comes across as incredibly repetitive and lacking a vocabulary.
I was really unimpressed with this book and I've never written a bad review before.
Wouldn't recommend.
Very basic.
