Little Did She Know - An...

Willow Rose

Another nail-biter from best-selling author Willow Rose! It was supposed to be the happiest day of her life when her kidnapped daughter returned, but it wasn’t. Fourteen years ago, Clarissa Smalls was born, and a few hours later, she was taken from the hospital. Kidnapped. Her mother searched desperately for her for years, but she never found her. Until now. When Clarissa Smalls is suddenly found in the swamps of Central Florida, badly bruised and confused, it is cause for much joy and celebration in her family, especially with her mother, who has waited 14 years to see her baby girl again. Little did she know that this day would end up being the worst in her life. Because Clarissa doesn’t want to know about her mother, she refuses to talk to anyone, and won’t tell the police what happened to her. When another baby girl is kidnapped from the same hospital in the same manner, the police believe it’s the same kidnapper who took Clarissa. Suddenly, time is of the essence to make her answer the many questions that are piling up. Where was she for 14 years? Who took her? Why won’t she tell them who her kidnapper is? The FBI brings in former profiler Eva Rae Thomas to help them in this very peculiar case. Eva Rae Thomas knows the girl’s mother very well and is willing to go to great lengths to help her out, even though the two of them share an unpleasant history. Eva Rae Thomas’ sister recently came back into her life after being kidnapped 35 years ago, so the FBI hopes she can contribute with a deeper understanding of the situation and maybe get through to Clarissa. Little could she have known that soon she would wish that she never got involved in this, as the case becomes very personal for her.
