The second title in the Janie Johnson series - first published in 1993

In the vein of psychological thrillers like We Were Liars, Girl on the Train, and Beware That Girl, bestselling author Caroline Cooney’s JANIE series delivers on every level. Mystery and suspense blend seamlessly with issues of family, friendship and love to offer an emotionally evocative thrill ride of a read.

As Janie Johnson glanced at the face of the ordinary little girl on the milk carton, she was overcome with shock. She recognized that little girl-it was she. How can it possibly be true? But it is.

With the mystery of her kidnapping now unraveled, Janie’s story continues, and the nightmare is not over. No one can bring back or relive the 12 years gone by. The Spring family wants justice, but who is really to blame? The Johnsons know that they must abide by the court decisions made, but it’s difficult to figure out what’s best for everyone.

Janie Johnson or Jenny Spring? Who is she? Certainly there’s enough love for everyone, but how can the two separate families live happily ever after?
