Product Description

A short story by number 1 best-seller, Rosen Trevithick.

Having a celebrity in the family can be challenging, especially when your sister's famous for being a missing child.

The disappearance of Millie Jones has dominated the news for eight years, ever since the mediagenic toddler was snatched from a department store at Christmas time.

Certain that Millie is alive, her mother puts family life on hold to fight for the search to continue.

However, this Christmas things are changing. A shocking development causes the police to reopen the investigation and a new hope dawns.

How is a parent or sibling supposed to cope with the fact that their child/sibling is gone. Not knowing why, when, who or what can break the ones left behind. This short story gives us a small indication of the pain, the refusal to let go and most importantly the neglect of the child left behind who wasn't taken. I think the story sailed fairly close to the one that has been in the media quite a lot. That said it is probably like that in most cases of this nature except the public never hears about it. It is an insightful piece, some of it more reminiscent of an exciting CSI episode, but def. worth the quick read.

This short story has obviously been professionally proof read since the previous review.

The story of a family coping with the loss of a child over a long period of time, with moments of hope and despair. Sensitively told, the family are united by grief but estranged by their individual coping mechanisms.

I loved the deep emotional insight into how the individuals managed an unresolved, heartbreaking and ongoing situation.

My only criticism is that it was too brief, I would love to have seen the plot further developed and expanded.

I am related to the author and have enjoyed watching her develop different styles for different genres over the years. I am delighted by her level of achievement.

An excellent read.

By D. Jones #1 REVIEWER #1 HALL OF FAME

This was a wonderful short story that took me just over 45 minutes to read.

Three year old Millie Jones was abducted from a busy shopping centre eight years ago when her mother, Rebecca, turned her back for an instant.

Today Rebecca, Daniel and their young daughter Bethany are still suffering from the terrible emotional fallout that surrounds their loss. Rebecca fervently believes her daughter is still alive and that she will be reunited with her but this causes untold friction within her family.

I found this to be a deeply moving and emotional read. The layers of grief were handled respectfully by the author whilst at the same time giving us an insight into the pain and turmoil experienced by Rebecca.

I would have loved to have seen this story told from the three different viewpoint, that of Rebecca, Daniel and Bethany. Although we were aware of Daniel and Bethany's own personal suffering and their reactions to Rebecca's insistence that Millie would return one day, I think the story could have been taken to a whole new level had it been examined from the three different perspectives.

There was a twist to the story that I didn't see coming and although initially disappointed, after reflection I felt that it was an excellent inclusion in the plot.

There were a couple of spelling mistakes and the author regularly used 'new' instead of the correct 'she knew ..' However, this did not detract in any way from what was a great book.

I will certainly be looking at downloading some of the other short stories that I know Rosen Trevithick has written.

No not for me.
The book was too short, lacked substance matter and if the book was proof read, well the proof reader needs shooting. The only positive - the book was free!
