Description:
A family ranch in Big Sur country and a legacy of Hollywood royalty set the stage for Nora Roberts’ emotional new suspense novel.
Caitlyn Sullivan, a daughter of Hollywood royalty, was already a star at ten, but still loved to play hide-and-seek with her cousins at the family home in Big Sur. It was during one of those games that she disappeared.
Despite her glamorous background, Cate was a shrewd, scrappy survivor, and she managed to escape her abductors. Dillon Cooper was shocked to find the bruised and terrified girl huddled in his ranch house kitchen—but when the teenager and his family heard her story they provided refuge and comfort, reuniting her with her loved ones.
Cate’s ordeal, though, was far from over. First came the discovery of a betrayal that would send someone she’d trusted to prison. Then there were years away in Ireland, sheltered and protected but with restlessness growing in her soul. Then, finally, she returned to Los Angeles, hoping to act again and get past the trauma that had derailed her life. What she didn’t yet know was that two seeds had been planted that long-ago night—one of a great love, and one of a terrible vengeance…
My Thoughts:
This book follows the Sullivan clan as they leave their mark on Hollywood. Caitlyn Sullivan finds herself in trouble early on. As a kidnapping on gone wrong. When she breaks free and gets help no one counts on her remembering so much about her kidnappers and the situation that led to her life being turned upside down.
Caitlyn's kidnappers and family member can't believe what they have had to go through and one is out for revenge. Unfortunately Caitlyn doesn't make this easy at all. She moves with her father to Ireland to recover from her kidnapping, then to Hollywood to see if she can't still act which she totally rocks at it. Then she winds up in New York for a bit before going home to find her way and what she wants in life.
This book showed a young girl, a brave warrior child to a young adult taking her life back. So much was going on that you find yourselves rooting for the Sullivan's that they can move forward from what happened so long ago. Definitely a keeper of a book long after the story is told I don't think Caitlyn will leave my mind as a great book to have read by a fabulous author as always!
