💙 💦 Oh, my, Raine!!!! I didn't know it was fiction until midway through and then madly scanned your topic tags!! Got caught up in your AI photo and missed the teeny-weeny "FICTION" Kicker. 🙄
Thank goodness, this is not a true story. I do remember a little girl abducted and could never leave the windows open at night ever again.
As for Verity, I knew she wouldn't show. Just a hunch.
Love that her grandparents loved Verity from the start and accepted her as their own.
A sad tale of young lost girls.
So well written!!
