In Book Two (Before She Was Taken), Rebecca Danser went back in time to seek her younger sister, who disappeared when they were children.

Now, Rebecca continues to be troubled by the growing sense that she should be using her unique ability to save others who have gone missing. She becomes obsessed by the case of an African-American boy who vanished one year ago.

Frustrated that police and media have made little effort to find 13-year-old Ethan Pitt or publicize his disappearance, she begins to investigate using her singular method of jumping back in time.

However, the case is complicated by a variety of suspects, including two neighborhood kids who exerted a bad influence on Ethan, along with several adult mentors who may or may not have had Ethan’s best interests in mind.

After a second boy goes missing, Rebecca’s driving wish to save them sends her down a dangerous rabbit hole from which she may never emerge.
