Publisher's Synopsis
It was every mother's worst nightmare... Life was finally falling into place for artist and single Mom Shannon Buchanan. After months of providing for her toddler daughter Mandy by drawing tourist portraits at the side of the road, she was on her way to a new job in California.
But a frantic power couple on the Central Coast of California were searching for their kidnapped daughter - the spitting image of Mandy - and an anonymous tip identifies Shannon as the kidnapper.
Is Shannon a grief-crazed mother who stole a child to replace the one she lost? Or is she the victim of a larger plot? It's up to maverick Sheriff's Investigator Phil Tewkes to navigate the twists and turns of corruption, greed, and even murder, to determine who holds claim to the little girl.
