"Three years ago, Madison Culver disappeared while her family was choosing a Christmas tree in Oregon's Skookum National Forest. She would be eight years old now -- if she has survived. Desperate to find their beloved daughter, the Culvers turn to Naomi, a private investigator with an uncanny talent for locating the lost and missing. Known to the police and a select group of parents as "the child finder," Naomi is the Culver's last hope. Naomi's methodical search takes her deep into the icy, mysterious forest in the Pacific Northwest, and into her own fragmented past. She understands children like Madison because once upon a time, she, too, was a lost girl. As Naomi relentlessly pursues and slowly uncovers the truth behind Madison's disappearance, shards of a dark dream pierce the defenses that have protected her, reminding her of a terrible loss she feels but can't remember. If she finds Madison, will Naomi ultimately unlock the secrets of her own life?"-- Provided by publisher.
