    About this ebook

    An unforgettable short story, from the million-copy bestseller Amanda Prowse.

    Amanda Prowse is the author of The Coordinates Of Loss and the no.1 bestsellers Perfect Daughter/i>, My Husband's Wife and What Have I Done?

    It's every mother's worst nightmare...

    Gemma Peters has everything a sixteen year old could want. Two loving parents, a good school, and close friends. Maybe sometimes her parents are a little overbearing, a little too adoring. But that's the same for all teenagers, right?

    Then, on the night of the school play, happy-go-lucky Gemma disappears without a trace. Where has she gone? Why has she been lying to her family? And, most importantly, will she ever come home?
