How do you rescue someone who has already been found?

Jen is at her wit's end. Her 15-year-old daughter has just been found after going missing: four days lost and alone in the desolate countryside. Lana won't talk about it. The police think the case is closed. But Jen can't leave it alone. Lana is acting strangely: she stops going to school, she sleeps with the light on. With her daughter increasingly becoming a stranger, Jen is sure the answer lies in those four missing days.

But will Lana ever reveal what happened?

Gripping, deeply affecting * Irish Times *
A beautiful exploration of mental health and love * Stylist *
Utterly compelling and insightful, I was drawn into this family in crisis from the first chapter of this unflinchingly honest and beautifully written novel -- Rosamund Lupton, bestselling author of 'Sister'
I adored the forensic detail of Healey's writing and the wry, sharp take on millenial family life * Daily Mail *
A fast-paced, gripping read * Closer *
Oozing with tension and written with captivating brilliance * Heat *
At once an absorbing thriller and a beautifully observed study of the relationship between mother and teenage daughter * Refinery29 *
I don't know anyone else who writes like this. Emma Healey's voice soars, sings and startles as she takes you right under the skin of her characters. She 'magics' the ordinary into the extraordinary and, just as impressively, transposes the extraordinary to the ordinary. Unforgettable. -- Jane Corry, bestselling author of 'My Husband's Wife'
This novel is a beautiful and rare thing - a page turning thriller with all the pain, warmth and humour of authentic family life portrayed. I absolutely loved it. -- Kate Hamer, author of 'The Girl in the Red Coat'
Healey is a natural story-teller -- Claire Fuller, author of 'Our Endless Numbered Days'
