'The Child Finder' by Rene Denfeld is the story of a private investigator named Naomi, who has a knack for finding the missing and the lost. She is hired by the Culvers whose daughter, Madison, went missing three years ago while they were picking out a Christmas tree in the Oregon forest. Naomi is their last hope to finding their daughter, but after three years, the outlook doesn't look good. This case takes Naomi deep into the cold Oregon forest in a search for a little girl, with no leads to where she went or who took her. While she is searching for Madison, Naomi's own past is trying to break through her defenses. She has blocked out her past and can not remember how she herself became a "lost child".
This book is nothing short of riveting. It had me guessing until the very end. It also struck my "mommy heart" to the very core. I can't imagine losing a child and after reading this book I am now hyper aware of the dangers that exist in this crazy, cruel, messed up world. However this book contains a lot of hope and love and endurance. It shows the strength that a human spirit can hold. I really loved this book and can not wait to read the next one!
