The finger of blame is pointed firmly at Lucy’s husband, but even when he’s arrested the police still can’t find the children, and Daniel isn’t going to tell them. Abraham Rose, who is terminally ill, is the detective in charge of the investigation and the hunt for the children. He’s quite some force of nature: a quiet, dedicated man, he’s determined to bring Lucy’s children home to her. This determination and his now wavering faith, are the driving force for a man who should really be in hospital. He wants to be the one to run and solve the case, though.
There’s a lot going on under the surface of this book. Is Lucy the person she says she is? Is something not quite right in her marriage with Daniel? What is going on with Daniel’s business partner?
This book constantly surprised me, and the tension was immense! I really enjoyed Sam Lloyd’s first novel (The Memory Wood), and this book, whilst completely different, didn’t disappoint at all. My emotions throughout this book were as turbulent as the weather (which was pretty bad!). I loved it!
Many thanks to The Pigeonhole for serialising this and to Sam Lloyd for joining in with the discussion.

Everyone is different and looks different. But accepting other skin tones is a good thing. There are many different skin tones in the world. This book teaches children about colorism, learning about their skin, and feeling comfortable with it.
The images are well done. They are colorful. Celebrating your skin is essential as it is what God created for you. This book also wants children or a child to celebrate love and being themselves and in their skin. The author does an outstanding job. In a time like today, this book stands needed to teach everyone that being yourself and being in your skin is good. It is an excellent way to learn to accept others who are different from you.
There are some activities in the back of the book to help children with colors and skin tone colors. Can they match their skin tone with the different skin tones in the book? There are quite a few different shades of them. Can you compare your skin to one in the book, and what name of the skin tone do you have. It is an excellent way for parents to help talk to their children or a child about skin tones.
