When I began this short story, I had no idea what a treasure I was about to discover; but if you have ever trusted a total stranger about what book you should select next, trust me now when I say that you DEFINITELY need to READ THIS!!! From the description you will know that a woman has fallen and broken her arm. While she is in surgery to set the compound fracture her husband takes their young daughter to the park. He swears he only turned his back for a moment, but their daughter is gone: she just vanished in the blink of an eye.
I know I am the only review at the moment, and there are only 3 ratings. The chart shows only 38% of that at a 5 star rating and 62% at a 3 star rating. Honestly, I think someone got it wrong. The only explanation I have is that someone really didn't like the subject matter. I CAN understand that: it is a difficult subject to hear, and we don't want to read about it. However, if you are a parent, aunt, uncle, grandparent... let's just say ANYONE who loves a child deeply, then you will understand the mother's heartache throughout this story. Although the story did not go in the direction I had expected, it was still about a desperate mother's eagle eyed focus to find her daughter.
Obviously someone did not want us (the readers) to know in advance what was actually happening here. On the one hand, I can understand that even though there are clues sprinkled through the pages. However, on the other hand I am torn because of the total rating at the moment - all defined by a mere offering of 3 ratings. Because they are only ratings and NOT reviews (I STILL don't know how anyone is able to do that) I want to burst out of this silence and reveal what is unfolding. I don't honestly know which path to choose, but when I began writing this review, I planned to honor the mystery about the subject. While I actually thought I should change that option for a few moments I think (at least for now) that I will follow the author's decision. I say that knowing that if anyone else posts a review, the subject will be revealed, but it won't be by me right here - right now.
I say all that to say this: not for one moment did I have even the slightest inclination to stop reading. I was never, and I DO mean never, tempted to put this aside or delete it from my Kindle. In fact, this is going in my very limited KEEPER file. That is how strongly I feel about the story and the need to (again) encourage everyone who loves a child to READ THIS!! It is too brief to deny yourself the opportunity to be deeply moved about losing a child like happened here at the playground. I would venture to say that EVERY SINGLE DAY there is an adult somewhere who looks away for only a moment with disastrous consequences. We HAVE to be vigilant if we want to protect our children and guard our hearts. For the sake of children everywhere READ THIS and leave an honest review. There are enough children lost in this world already, and we truly do not need to lose any more.
