The Girl is Mine

Two families want her. Now she's missing.

Ava and Ryan Shetland were loving parents to Gracie in every way that mattered. They were there for her first steps, her first words, and her middle-of-the-night wakeups. They doted on her and watched her grow. Years passed with no contact from Gracie’s biological parents, so Ava and Ryan planned to permanently adopt their precious foster daughter. It was a step that was just a formality—until it wasn't. Weeks before the final adoption hearing, Gracie's biological parents reappear out of nowhere. The judge grants them custody. And just like that, Ava and Ryan's little girl is gone.

They can't let it end there.

So, when they discover the biological family is taking Gracie camping in the woods, they decide to follow them—to watch, to document, and to prove the court made a catastrophic mistake. When they return home armed with evidence of the other couple's bad behavior, the news is already breaking: Gracie has vanished. Police say she is lost in the wilderness. Ava knows better.

But when Ava and Ryan's secret surveillance trip comes to light, suddenly, the couple who fought hardest to keep Gracie safe are the prime suspects in her disappearance. With every hour that passes, the case against them grows stronger, and Gracie’s odds of survival dwindle. But Ava refuses to stop searching. Because no matter what the courts decided, Gracie is her daughter, and her mother’s intuition tells her that Gracie is still alive.

And as Ava inches closer to the truth, she knows only one thing for sure. A mother will do anything to protect her child.

A gripping psychological thriller with pulse-pounding twists, perfect for fans of Gone Girl, The Marriage, and The Wife Between Us.
