Publisher's Synopsis
Torie Jacobson survived a tumultuous childhood of being passed around from one foster home to the next. Years later, she has no job, boyfriend, or will left to live. Fed up with her life, Torie walks out of her apartment during a horrible thunderstorm to kill herself in the raging waters of Halibut Bay.
Moments before ending her life, she witnesses a man getting struck by lightning. Torie reacts without thinking and jumps into the water to save him, although her heroic act deems useless.
The police are clueless as to who the man was trespassing that night on a stranger's yacht, but Torie stumbles across his identify soon after she takes a housecleaning job for Mrs. Wright, the dead man's wife.
After learning lightning man's true identity, Torie is devastated to learn that his only child, Sophia, has gone missing.
Torie knows from experience what it's like to be a powerless little girl, and she teams up with the police as they scramble to find Sophia. But the deeper she gets, the more personal it becomes as a relationship stirs between her and Brian Brewer, a police officer working the case.
As the search for Sophia continues, there is only man who knows the truth, and Torie is intent on finding him.
