Before Owen Michaels disappeared, he smuggled a note to his new wife Hannah: Protect her. Hannah knows he's referring to his sixteen-year-old daughter Bailey, but Bailey doesn't want anything to do with Hannah. As Owen's boss gets arrested and the FBI come knocking, Hannah and Bailey must come together to discover Owen's secrets.

I found myself completely immersed in Reese Witherspoon's book club pick from May. As Hannah tries to unravel Owen's true identity and learn to connect with her stepdaughter, the suspense keeps you turning pages. Instead of a high-action plot like in a John Grisham thriller, Dave opts for a thought-provoking character study that I found intriguing.
