Stolen - Paperback

A hidden newspaper article. A teen girl who has an eerie resemblance to a toddler whose kidnapping remains unsolved.

As the only child of a single mother, thirteen-year-old Emma McKay has never attended school, had friends, or been allowed to visit public places. She has moved more times than she can remember, and has no pictures of herself as a child. But it isn't until she discovers a newspaper article tucked away in a file marked personal that she begins to question who she is and

begins to wonder: Is she living a secret life?

How far will she go to discover the truth?

With lots of questions and no one she can ask, she decides she must take matters into her own hands and runs away to try to find out the truth.

Alone in a strange city, she finds herself unprepared for the challenges and setbacks she will face as she tries to keep anyone from finding her and seeks help from the police who refuse to believe her.

The choices she makes could alter people's lives forever

An unexpected ally will step in to help Emma, but will it be in time, or will she be forced to return to the only life she has known with a woman who might not be her mother without getting the answers she needs?

This gripping young adult suspense book can be read by upper elementary-aged children through adults. It is the first book in a trilogy about a girl's search for her true identity.
