You Were Always Mine by Nicole Baart

The premise to You Were Always Mine by Nicole Baart is an interesting one, and not what you might immediately think. Jessica has recently separated from her husband, their marriage having descended into complacency and general lovelessness. She holds on tight to her two sons, especially Gabe, 6, who is adopted. One day her ex doesn't show up for school pick up, and Jessica starts down a slippery slope to discover why and what happened to him. It's hard to discuss it any more without revealing some of the carefully plotted twists. I can say that there's a fair amount of sadness in this novel, but a good amount of mystery as well, and as already mentioned, it's not what you might initially think!
