Read the chilling and completely heartwrenching story of a mother' s worst nightmare: her child being stolen--and what happens when he returns. Six years agoMegan waits at the school gates for her six-year-old son, Daniel. As the playground empties, panic bubbles inside her. Daniel is nowhere to be found. Her darling son is missing. Six years laterAfter years of sleepless nights and endless days of missing her son, Megan finally gets the call she has been dreaming about. Daniel has walked into a police station in a remote town just a few miles away. Megan is overjoyed--her son is finally coming home. She has kept Daniel' s room, with his Cookie Monster poster on the wall and a stack of Lego under the bed, in perfect shape to welcome him back. But when he returns, there is something different about Daniel . . . According to the police, Daniel was kidnapped by his father. After his dad died in a fire, Daniel was finally able to escape. Desperate to find out the truth, Megan tries to talk to her little boy--but he barely answers her questions. Longing to help him heal, Megan tries everything--his favourite chocolate milkshake, a reunion with his best friend, a present for every birthday missed--but still, Daniel is distant. And as they struggle to connect, Megan begins to suspect that there is more to the story. Soon, she fears that her son is hiding a secret. A secret that could destroy her family . . .
Nicole Trope went to university to study Law but realised the error of her ways when she did very badly on her first law essay because--as her professor pointed out--' It' s not meant to be a story. ' She studied teaching instead and used her holidays to work on her writing career and complete a Masters' degree in Children' s Literature. After the birth of her first child she stayed home full time to write and raise children, renovate houses and build a business with her husband. The idea for her first published novel, The Boy Under the Table, was so scary that it took a year for her to find the courage to write the emotional story. Her second novel, Three Hours Late, was voted one of Fifty Books you can' t put down in 2013 and her third novel, The Secrets in Silence, was The Australian Woman' s Weekly Book of the month for June 2014. She lives in Sydney with her husband and three children.
