Deidre experiences what all parents dread: the disappearance of one of
her children. A number of suspects emerge, including a convicted sex
offender, an out-of-place vagabond, a rapist, and even a wife abuser.
One by one, the usual suspects are crossed off the list of those who
might be responsible, until Deidre receives a call from the Minneapolis
police. Her child is in custody, being held for her own safety, and will
be released into Deidre's custody as soon as arrangements are made. The
girl in custody possesses her daughter's purse, ID, and debit card.
However, she has changed almost to the point of being unrecognizable.
Deidre's family is rocked by what is happening, and struggle with coping
so they can go on with life.
