Nora Hill is a woman in search of many things: Plots for her series of best selling young adult novels; the perfect place to leave her father's ashes; a reason why God would expect her to come to Him when He's given her prosopagnosia, face blindness, and can't recognize anyone's face, least of all God's.Along the way, Nora finds herself searching for something else: Every time she turns around, there's a child missing and Nora knows she has the ability, the gift to find endangered children who can't, or don't want to be found. Uncomfortable with the notoriety this ability gives her, Nora still answers the call to search for children because her beloved father told her this was God's gift to balance out the face blindness.Visiting her old hometown of Manitowoc, Wisconsin, Nora hopes to send her father's ashes into Lake Michigan and leave town before anyone recognizes her. Major car trouble dashes her hopes, and she finds herself trapped for a weekend in a town full of terrible memories. When the manhunt for a former classmate's asthmatic daughter turns up empty, Nora must battle her own personal feelings and do her best to find the girl before it's too late.

Because of her face blindness, Nora Hill has always felt disconnected from her family and has spent her life keeping them at a distance. An argument with her one friend, Jack Terrell, leaves her hopeless and questioning her ability to connect with anyone for very long.When she breaks her leg in a freak accident, Nora is forced to live with her mother, Brenda. Nora feels trapped and powerless. Her only escape is in the hours when she gives her nephew driving lessons because no one else in the family has time. What starts out as a quick lunch break during a driving lesson turns into a question of faith when Nora realizes she may have to use her divine gift for finding lost children to locate a young woman. Having never had to find a missing adult, Nora wonders if her gift is changing or if there is something else at stake. Nora's world gets even more confusing when Jack shows up with a shocking confession and an invitation. To say accept would force her to face a demon she's locked away for decades. To say no is to give up on a life she never thought would be possible.As she wrestles with her past and present, Nora realizes that all is not as it seems, especially when it comes to families. She uncovers a truth that binds her to her mother and sisters even as it seems to divide them more deeply. A door she's kept tightly locked opens in her memories and Nora knows time is running out for her to claim a future she didn't think would ever be within her reach.
