This new novel opens with Anne, a lovely young woman celebrating her freedom from a difficult marriage and her success as a new author by preparing for a spring outing on Sebago Lake. On the lake she responds to a man's call for assistance by towing his boat to shore where the personable young man transforms into a vicious character with a gun. Held in a deserted shack where she suffers repeated assaults and beatings, Anne can't understand the motive behind her abduction. Parents John and Margaret hear of her disappearance when her empty boat is found drifting on the lake. They are soon joined by sons Jim and Brad, their wives Janet and Cassie, to wait at the family farm. The novel moves in suspense from the Jensen farm to the shack and back again as Anne's family lives with rage, fear, flashes of humor, family love, secrets and a strong faith. Anne's bravery, rescue, recovery, the discovery and capture of her assailants hold the reader's interest, as does a developing romantic interest.
