(4) YA Three years after being abducted and held by an abusive kidnapper, Sam Walsh, now fourteen, returns to his family in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. In alternating chapters, Sam's sister Beth and his best friend Josh reveal what they knew about the kidnapping as well as their complicated responses to Sam's trauma. The emotional issues are poignant, but the novel is uneven; Beth's narrative in particular feels dull.
