Here is the truth, this is what I know: I was walking on the beach with Emma. It was cold and very foggy. She let go of my hand. I stopped to photograph a baby seal, then glanced up toward the Great Highway. When I looked back, Emma was gone.

From this moment unfolds the spellbinding story of Abby Mason--photographer, fiancee, soon-to-be-stepmother--and the consequences of her greatest error. A riveting drama of how life can change in an instant, of a family torn apart by the search for the truth behind a child's disappearance, and of one woman's unwavering faith in the power of love, The Year of Fog is a profoundly original glimpse into the mysterious and wondrous workings of the human heart, all made startlingly fresh through novelist Michelle Richmond's incandescent sensitivity and extraordinary insight.

My Thoughts: What a amazing, great and wonderful book! I loved it!! It's written very easy and with short chapters, which I like cause I feel like I can pick it up and do some reading and stop after a few chapters. I will admit I held on a little bit more to my kiddos while reading this book. The thought of losing one of my children is so scary to think about. I love that Abby didn't once give up. Even after Emma's dad did. Now the ending did surprise me alittle. I had a feeling they were going to find her. Just the way the book was going. But I thought it would be a kind of happy ever after thing and it was a not really happy ever after ending. On the side I like the photography part. I use to really enjoy taking pictures, before digital. So that part was inspiring. Great book!
