Publisher's summary

Perfect for fans of the NYT best seller Sold on a Monday, this Southern historical novel based on the true story of a boy's mysterious disappearance examines despair, loyalty, and the nature of truth.

In 1913, on a summer's day at Half Moon Lake, Louisiana, four-year-old Sonny Davenport walks into the woods and never returns.

The boy's mysterious disappearance from the family's lake house makes front-page news in their home town of Opelousas. John Henry and Mary Davenport are wealthy and influential, and will do anything to find their son. For two years, the Davenports search across the South, offer increasingly large rewards and struggle not to give in to despair. Then, at the moment when all hope seems lost, the boy is found in the company of a tramp.

But is he truly Sonny Davenport? The circumstances of his discovery raise more questions than answers. And when Grace Mill, an unwed farm worker, travels from Alabama to lay claim to the child, newspapers, townsfolk, even the Davenports' own friends, take sides.

As the tramp's kidnapping trial begins, and two desperate mothers fight for ownership of the boy, the people of Opelousas discover that truth is more complicated than they'd ever dreamed.

The ending ruined the book for me.

The ending ruined the book for me. I loved some parts of the book but the story was drug out.The ending was horrible. I felt like the author got tired of wring and just quit.

Hate the cliffhanger at the end.

The book has great characters that you begin to love - or hate! The writing is vivid and written so well you feel like a part of the story. I HATE being left in the dark at the end though!

Heads up

The story is told well and captures your interest quickly. But the ending…so disappointing. Just a heads up…most women will not appreciate how this story ends!

Waited for an ending that never came

Ive heard of haply endings, sad endings, and even ordinary endings but this is a whole new thing. I feel like this book was on the way to the publisher and the last 4 chapters were dropped and they just went with ot anyways. a long slow build to a story you think is going to come to a conclusion and just never does.

pleasurable book

interesting story about the sad fates of a group of people forever changed by the disappearance if a young boy. Set in WW1 era giving a glimpse into an almost forgotten way of life. A bit lengthy in the middle but believable characters with human flaws.

Ending

Not pleased, I did not like the ending of this book! I guess the time frame it was written about goes along with what happened.

So Sad

I can't believe the twist at the end of this story. There were many ways to end it without being so cruel. I'm really sorry I chose it.
