{++ } This weekly event/feature is graciously hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine. She's way too awesome, and put this event together in order to bring us bloggers together. Some of us like me are relatively new; others have been here longer, but the gist of it is, we all need an opportunity to reveal our can't-wait-to-read-'em, omg-gotta-have-'em-books, (and maybe make a few new friends along the way.) Here is my pick this week!
Together for over a decade, Kyra and David Winter are happier than they ever thought they could be. They have a comfortable home, stable careers, and a young son, Michael, who they love more than anything. Yet because of their complicated histories, Kyra and David have always feared that this domestic bliss couldn’t last - that the life they created was destined to be disrupted. And on one perfectly average summer day, it is: Michael disappears from his own backyard.
The only question is whose past has finally caught up with them: David feels sure that Michael was taken by his troubled ex-wife, while Kyra believes the kidnapper must be someone from her estranged family, someone she betrayed years ago.
As the Winters embark on a journey of time and memory to find Michael, they will be forced to admit these suspicions, revealing secrets about themselves they’ve always kept hidden. But they will also have a chance to discover that it’s not too late to have the family they’ve dreamed of; that even if the world is full of risks, as long as they have hope, the future can bloom.

Why this book?
{ ++ } Something about this book just spoke to me when I first saw it featured in another blogger's WoW. I've never read anything by this author before, but the premise seems very solid and like a story that will draw me in and hold me rapt from start to finish. I'm a big fan of stories that examine human nature, and push characters to the breaking point, but put them back together again.
